Cuentos de Amor de Locura y de Muerte by Horacio Quiroga
"Cuentos de Amor de Locura y de Muerte" by Horacio Quiroga is a short story collection published in 1918. This haunting compilation explores death as its central theme across nineteen tales, several later removed by Quiroga himself. The stories blend human and animal consciousness, portraying animals with rational thought ultimately overcome by human brutality, while humans surrender to primitive instincts. These dark narratives examine how raw impulses drive conflict and tragedy, creating
an unsettling portrait of nature's violence and humanity's darkest corners. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
