Uruguay Horacio Quiroga was born in 1879. One of the great Latin American writers, the influence of D'Annunzio and Edgar Allan Poe. Long lived in the territory of Misiones, inspired by his exuberant nature for much of his work.
had a life full of tragic episodes, which greatly influenced his way of writing and the continuing occurrence of death in their stories. The accidental death of his father, who escaped a shotgun while descending from a boat, which takes place when Quiroga was only 2 months, the loss of two sisters, Pastora and Prudence, who died of typhoid in the Argentine Chaco, the suicide of his stepfather, Ascencio boats in front of him after suffering a terrible cerebral palsy. Later, after six years of marriage, Ana Maria CIRES (his first wife, with whom he married in 1910, after having overcome stiff opposition from the family CIRES) dying eight days after being poisoned. Also his daughter Eglé, born in Misiones, in 1911, would take her life a year after his death (1937). And Dario Quiroga, his son, he would kill himself in 1952. Maria Elena Bravo, his second wife and the only teenager who if overcome family opposition loved (it was 30 years younger than the writer, and friend of their daughter Eglé), abandoned in the middle of the jungle, after six years of marriage, taking "Pitoca" little daughter.
had interned in 1936 at the Hospital for a stomach pain. The wait was eternal. Five months after a doctor told him he had cancer. Quiroga did not say a word. Went for a walk around the city and the same midnight committed suicide with cyanide.
A life more than tragic, whose feelings were reflected in his many stories and letters, many also own jungle with the touch of having lived in the middle of the South American jungle.
recommend his famous tales collected in "Tales of the Jungle" and "Tales of love, madness and death", suitable for teens 12 to 70 years.
