1-5 of 5 books                               Los Geniecillos Dominicales Nadie encendía las lámparas La Escritura Obsesiva La Vuelta al día en 80 mundos                                 Último Round     Perfiles is a collection of some of the classic works of twentieth-century Latin-American literature. The collection has two aims: to bring back into circulation a number of important titles that have been out of print in many Latin-American countries, and to give new prominence to significant authors who for one reason or another are little known among present-day readers. The collection begins with El Llano en llamas and Pedro Páramo by Juan Rulfo, two masterpieces of twentieth-century Latin-American literature. The third volume of the series is Los geniecillos dominicales by the Peruvian writer Julio Ramón Ribeyro: one of the first “urban novels” published in Latin America. The ten marvelous short stories that make up the collection Nadie encendía las lámparas, by Felisberto Hernández, constitute the fourth volume in the series. For the first time in a Spanish-language edition, this volume includes the foreword Italo Calvino wrote for the Italian translation of the collection. The fifth volume, entitled La escritura obsesiva, is an anthology of texts by the Mexican writer Salvador Elizondo, with a foreword by Daniel Sada.   1-5 of 5 books
