Sinopsis
"Cartas a Clara brings together the correspondence between the Mexican author Juan Rulfo and his beloved Clara Aparicio. The collection of 84 texts covers letters written between October 1944 and December 1950, accompanied by photographs that evoke the context in which they were written. Rulfo's calligraphy stands out for its elegance and clarity, tracing the letters with precision. 'Since I have known you, there is an echo in every branch that repeats your name; in the high branches, far away; in the branches that are next to us, it is heard. It is heard as if waking from a dream of dawn. It breathes in the leaves, it moves as the drops of water move'. In January 1945, Rulfo wrote: 'I don't know what is happening within me; but at every moment I feel there is something great and noble for which one can struggle and live. That great thing, for me, is you.... I was reading a fellow called Walt Whitman a while ago and found something that says: 'Whoever walks a furlong without sympathy walks to his own funeral, dressed in his shroud.' And this made me recall that I was always taking my love with me everywhere, until I met you and gave it entirely to you.' In his foreword, Alberto Vidal writes: 'The papers of a great writer do in fact possess the character of documents.' And they help to answer a question: 'How is that Rulfo wrote those three hundred pages that Gabriel García Márquez has put on the same level as Sophocles, that is, one of the men who contributed to the founding of civilization?'"--Publisher's description.
