SPA 306 Lecture Notes - Lecture 18: Juan Rulfo, Sony Music Entertainment
Document Summary
They gave us the land by juan rulfo. The story begins with the narrator hearing the sound of dogs barking after walking for hours without coming across a trace of anything living on the plain. He describes the big plain as a totally inhospitable place where the ground is so dry it cracks. There is a town ahead in the distance, though, with all the sounds and smells that typically accompany it. The narrator explains that he and his three companions (named faustino, esteban and melit n) have been walking since dawn and that it is now four in the afternoon. The men walk two by two and as the narrator looks over his shoulder he realizes that they are now alone. At eleven o"clock there were more than twenty men in their party, but that number has dwindled down to the four that remain.
