Jungle Tales: A New Translation of "Cuentos de la Selva" (Illustrated) - Tapa blanda

"Jungle Tales" is a new translation of the famed "Cuentos de la Selva" by Horacio Quiroga including all new illustrations for each story and the cover, each done by a Uruguayan artist who grew up on these stories. The stories are suitable for children through adults because, while they feature talking animals in the fun contexts of the jungle and use simple language, the stories go deeper than they first appear and can appeal to the mature reader as well. Horacio Quiroga is known as one of the original pioneers of the "magical realism" style that so influenced famous writers such as Gabriel García Márquez while he was writing “100 Years of Solitude” and “Love in the Time of Cholera”. The Stories: The Story of Two Coati Pups and Two Man Pups The Blind Fawn The War of the Alligators The Plucked Parrot The Lazy Bee The Passage of the Yabebiri River The Giant Tortoise The Flamingo's Stockings
