With an Introduction by Gabriel GarcÃa Márquez A new translation
by Douglas J. Weatherford In this stunning masterpiece of the
surreal, Juan Preciado sets out on a strange quest, bound by a
promise to his dying mother. Embarking down a parched and dusty
road, Juan goes to seek his father, Pedro Páramo, from whom they
fled many years ago. The ruined town of Comala is alive with
whispers and shadows. Time shifts from one consciousness to another
in a hypnotic flow of desires and memories, a world of ghosts
dominated by the tyranny of the Páramo family. Womaniser, overlord
and murderer, Juan's notorious father retains an eternal grip over
Comala. Its barren and broken-down streets echo the voices of
tormented spirits sharing the secrets of the past in an
extraordinary chorus of sensory images, violent passions and
unfathomable mysteries.
