Plač prašume: Peruanske novele

Ventura Garcia Calderon

The collection Cry of the Rainforest by the Peruvian writer and diplomat Ventura García Calderón, published as an authorized edition in 1932 in Belgrade, contains a series of short stories depicting life in the Peruvian rainforest.

Ventura García Calderón, a member of the "Generation 900", is known for his exotic and symbolic short stories that explore themes such as revenge, magic and the conflict between civilization and the wild.

The stories in the collection often incorporate elements of Andean and Amazonian myths, featuring characters such as shamans, spirits, and mythical creatures. One of the more famous stories, "Yacu-Mama," explores the legend of a water spirit who protects rivers and punishes those who pollute them. Other stories, such as "La selva de los venenos", depict the dangers and beauties of the rainforest, often through the prism of human greed and disrespect for nature.

Calderón uses rich and picturesque language to evoke the atmosphere of the rainforest, while criticizing colonial and imperialist tendencies that threaten indigenous cultures and the environment. His stories often end tragically, emphasizing the fragility of human existence in a harsh and unpredictable environment.

The Cry of the Rainforest is a significant work that combines realistic descriptions with fantastical elements, providing readers with an insight into the rich culture and mythology of Peru, and warning of the consequences of human recklessness towards nature.
