Un gran clásico de la narrativa breve latinoamericana, en la antología esencial compaginada por el propio autor.

Clásico incuestionable de la literatura latinoamericana, el volumen hace gala de una gran riqueza literaria y diversidad temática, que el lector encontrará reflejada en textos de corte social («Al pie del acantilado ), fantástico («La insignia ) o poético («Los eucaliptos ).
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A great classic in Latin American short story; it is an essential anthology put together by the author himself. A collection of deeply humane stories depicting marginalized populations by one of the greatest South American writers of the 20th century.
The Peruvian writer Julio Ramón Ribeyro is one of the masters of the short story and a major contributor to the great flourishing of Latin American literature that followed the Second World War. In a letter to an editor, Ribeyro said about his stories, "in most of [them] those who are deprived of words in life find expression--the marginalized, the forgotten, those condemned to an existence without harmony and without voice. I have restored to them the breath they've been denied, and I've allowed them to modulate their own longings, outbursts, and distress." This is work of deep humanity, imbued with a disorienting lyricism that is Ribeyro's alone. The Word of the Speechless introduces readers to an indispensable and unforgettable voice of Latin American fiction.
