About this listen

"El préstamo de la difunta" narra la historia de Rosalindo Ovejero, un arriero pobre de un valle de los Andes argentinos que, por un incidente en Salta, debe huir cruzando la Punta de Atacama hasta las minas de sal de Chile. En su camino, adquiere una deuda con una difunta, que vendrá a reclamársela apareciéndosele meses después. El relato no solo resulta interesante por lo que cuenta sino por cómo lo cuenta y por el trasfondo que dibuja, desde las tradiciones andinas, al sincretismo cultural y religioso de los protagonistas. Vicente Blasco Ibáñez nunca deja un estilo de narración realista, pero según avanza la historia va recogiendo elementos sobrenaturales que ha ido sembrando en el relato, para terminar sumergiendo al lector en las ensoñaciones del protagonista. Una historia terrorífica y divertida a la vez.

Diseño de portada: David Rubiales Suárez.

"El préstamo de la difunta" tells the story of Rosalindo Ovejero, a poor muleteer from a valley in the Argentine Andes who, due to an incident in Salta, must flee across the Punta de Atacama to the salt mines of Chile. On his way, he acquires a debt with a deceased woman, who will come to claim it, appearing to him months later. The story is not only interesting for what it tells but also for how it tells it and for the background it draws, from the Andean traditions to the cultural and religious syncretism of the protagonists. Vicente Blasco Ibáñez never leaves a realistic narrative style, but as the story progresses he picks up supernatural elements that he has been sowing in the story, to end up immersing the reader in the protagonist's reverie. A terrifying and funny story at the same time.

Cover art design: David Rubiales Suárez.
