NETFLIX FILM ADAPTATION RELEASE ON 6TH NOVEMBER

'The greatest novel of the 20th century you've never heard of' Telegraph

With an Introduction by Gabriel García 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.

'Pedro Páramo', by Juan Rulfo, is a masterpiece of Mexican Gothic Fiction. This is a Ghost Story of lush, nocturnal descriptions, where each and every sentence is constructed to convey utter quiet. A deathly silence lingers over each spoken word like a sickle, waiting to strike. This is a short, concise, and captivating read. I highly recommend.
