About the Book

Uno de los más importantes exponentes, junto con William Faulkner, de la narrativa del sur de Estados Unidos. Además de ser autora de varias novelas, obras de teatro, ensayos, poemas y una autobiografía, Carson McCullers (Columbus, Georgia, 1917 - Nueva York, 1967) publicó veinte relatos breves, nueve de los cuales, valorados entre sus más logradas creaciones, conforman esta selección, que incorpora algunas de sus primeras piezas, como «Sucker», «El aliento del cielo» o «Wunderkind», y otras de más tardía escritura, como «Un árbol. Una roca. Una nube», «El transeúnte» o «¿Quién ha visto el viento?». Encumbrada al panteón de escritores sureños norteamericanos junto a autores como William Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor o Truman Capote, McCullers sobresalió en su iluminadora capacidad de retratar personajes solitarios en busca de un lugar en el mundo y de capturar con toda la intensidad emocional el universo íntimo de sus turbulencias a través de una prosa tan sencilla como poderosa. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION One of the most important voices--alongside William Faulkner--in Southern U.S. literature. In addition to writing several novels, plays, essays, poems, and an autobiography, Carson McCullers (Columbus, Georgia, 1917 - New York, 1967) published twenty short stories, nine of which--considered among her finest--are featured in this selection. It includes early works such as "Sucker," "Breath from the Sky," and "Wunderkind," as well as later pieces like "A Tree. A Rock. A Cloud," "The Wanderer," and "Who Has Seen the Wind?" Celebrated among the great Southern American writers alongside William Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor, and Truman Capote, McCullers stood out for her luminous ability to portray lonely characters searching for their place in the world, capturing the emotional intensity of their inner lives through prose that is both simple and powerful.

About the Author :
Carson McCullers nació en Columbus, Georgia, en 1917, y murió en Nueva York en 1967, de un ataque al corazón, a la temprana edad de cincuenta años. Su producción narrativa, publicada íntegramente en Seix Barral, comprende los siguientes títulos: El corazón es un cazador solitario (1940; Seix Barral, 1989), convertido inmediatamente en un clásico de la novela contemporánea; Reflejos en un ojo dorado (1941; Seix Barral, 1958); Frankie y la boda (1946; Seix Barral, 1960); La balada del café triste (1951; Seix Barral, 1958); y Reloj sin manecillas (1961; Seix Barral, 1963). Póstumamente ha aparecido su autobiografía, Iluminación y fulgor nocturno (1999; Seix Barral, 2001). «El mudo» y otros textos (Seix Barral, 2007), publicado en la colección Únicos, incluye el esbozo de «El mudo» --primer título que recibió El corazón es un cazador solitario-- y ensayos sobre literatura. Está considerada, junto a William Faulkner, como una de las mejores representantes de la narrativa del Sur de Estados Unidos. Carson McCullers was born in Columbus, Georgia, in 1917, and died in New York in 1967 of a heart attack at the early age of fifty. Her body of work, published entirely by Seix Barral, includes the following titles: The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter (1940; Seix Barral, 1989), which immediately became a classic of contemporary fiction; Reflections in a Golden Eye (1941; Seix Barral, 1958); The Member of the Wedding (1946; Seix Barral, 1960); The Ballad of the Sad Café (1951; Seix Barral, 1958); and Clock Without Hands (1961; Seix Barral, 1963). Her autobiography, Illumination and Night Glare (1999; Seix Barral, 2001), was published posthumously. "The Mute" and other texts (Seix Barral, 2007), published in the Únicos collection, includes the draft of "The Mute"--the original title of The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter--and essays on literature. She is considered, alongside William Faulkner, as one of the finest representatives of Southern U.S. fiction.
