NOW A MAJOR NETFLIX FILM

'One of the masterpieces of twentieth-century world literature' Susan Sontag

With an Introduction by Gabriel García Márquez
A new translation by Douglas J. Weatherford

From one of the most famous and influential Mexican writers, and the father of magical realism, this novel is a stunning masterpiece of the surreal. Juan Preciado sets out on a strange quest, bound by a promise to his dying mother. Embarking down a parched and dusty road, Juan goes to seek his father, Pedro Páramo, from whom they fled many years ago.

The ruined town of Comala is alive with whispers and shadows. Time shifts from one consciousness to another in a hypnotic flow of desires and memories, a world of ghosts dominated by the tyranny of the Páramo family. Womaniser, overlord and murderer, Juan's notorious father retains an eternal grip over Comala. Its barren and broken-down streets echo the voices of tormented spirits sharing the secrets of the past in an extraordinary chorus of sensory images, violent passions and unfathomable mysteries.
