(ESP) Siguiente traduccíon: Horacio Quiroga

Para las próximas ficciones científicas traducidas por Ana y sam, traduciremos algunos cuentos por Horacio Quiroga. Quiroga escribió muchos cuentos fantasticos, pero nos enfocaremos en algunos que tienen un tema de ciencia ficción: El Vampiro, El Retrato, y El Hombre Artificial.

En la búsqueda de estos cuentos de ciencia ficción, estoy usando como guías 3 excelentes libros:

También tengo que agradecer al Instituto Ometeca por guiarme en la dirección de ciencia ficción latinoamericana, y también por permitirme revisar el libro de Ferreira. (Una de las cosas que me impulsó en primer lugar)

(ENG) Next translation: Horacio Quiroga

For the next science fictions translated by Ana and sam, we will translate a few stories by Horacio Quiroga. Quiroga was born in 1878 in Salto, Uruguay. Quiroga wrote many fantastical stories, but we will focus on a few that have more of a science fiction theme: "El Vampiro", "El Retrato", and "El Hombre Artificial"

In finding these science fiction stories, I am using as my guides three excellent books:

I also have to thank The Ometeca Institute for guiding me in the direction of Latin American sci fi, and also for allowing me to review Ferreira’s book (one of the things that got me started in the first place.)
