Synopsis "El Pozo. Novelas Breves #1 / The Well (in Spanish)"

Este primer volumen de las novelas cortas de Juan Carlos Onetti reúne: El pozo (1939), Los adioses (1954), Para una tumba sin nombre (1959), La cara de la desgracia (1960) y Jacob y el otro (1961).Con la publicación de El pozo en 1939, Juan Carlos Onetti imprimía las primeras huellas de una trayectoria extraordinaria al tiempo que la literatura hispanoamericana abría sus puertas a una voz irrepetible. Este primer volumen de sus Novelas breves abarca un período de veintidós años a lo largo de los cuales el autor uruguayo consolidó e hizo inconfundible un estilo perpetrado en obras como las que aquí se reúnen: Los adioses (1954), Para una tumba sin nombre (1959), La cara de la desgracia (1960) y Jacob y el otro (1961), además de su ya mentado debut narrativo. Sus páginas son el fruto amargo de la turbia pero hiriente mirada de unos ojos enfrentados alrostro mismo de la existencia y la condición humana. Reseñas: Onetti sintetiza, simultáneamente, la precisión constructiva y lingüística de Borges y la pasión humana. Para mí, Onetti escribe en el límite del idioma. Antonio Muñoz Molina El más grande novelista latinoamericano. Julio Cortázar ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The first of the great works by an essential author, considered by Mario Vargas Llosa as the first modern Latin American novel. Eladio Linacero, an existential antihero, is run down by his realization of the degeneration of human existence and the uselessness of all attempts at communication. He tries to free himself from his daily tedium through fiction... Writing about a dream set in Canada is the escape route that lets him construct a new reality of his own design, as the protagonist attempts to "do something different. Something better than the things that happened to me. I would like to write the story of an unfettered soul, without the circumstances which ended up ensnaring him."

Juan Carlos Onetti was one of the greatest Uruguayan writers and journalists. After growing up in an environment where he did not finish high school and had to work in various jobs, Onetti traveled to Buenos Aires in 1930, upon marrying his first wife. Once in Argentina, he began to publish film reviews and collaborate in magazines.

After his divorce, Onetti returns to Uruguay, although he travels regularly to Argentina, where he maintains good relations. During these years, Onetti never stops writing despite not finding facilities to publish. In 1936, he unsuccessfully tried to enlist in the International Brigades to participate in the Spanish Civil War.

From 1939, he began working for the Marcha magazine and published his first book, El pozo (1939). In 1941, he joined the Reuters Agency and in 1950 published La vida breve, considered his best novel, a foundational book of Santa María.

In 1975, he decided to settle in Madrid, distancing himself from the military dictatorship established in Uruguay. He continues writing and in 1980 is nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature. That same year, he receives the highest accolade in Hispanic letters: the Cervantes Prize. He also garnered other awards, such as the National Literature Prize of Uruguay or the Narrative Criticism Prize.

In 1993, his last novel was published: Cuando ya no importe, in which he closes the universe created around Santa María.

Onetti died in Madrid in 1994.

Una maravilla. Se notan influencias de faulkner en onetti, pero logra una voz propia. El pozo y los adioses son obras maestras.
