The Burning Plain

El Llano en llamas is considered a classic of Mexican literature. The collection of short stories takes place in rural Jalisco where Mexicans struggle to survive after the Mexican Revolution. Juan Rulfo is one of the most important writers of twentieth-century Mexico, though he wrote only two books--the novel Pedro Pâaramo (1955) and the short story collection El Llano en llamas (1953). First translated into English in 1967 as The Burning Plain, these starkly realistic stories create a psychologically acute portrait of poverty and dignity in the countryside at a time when Mexico was undergoing rapid industrialization following the upheavals of the Revolution--
