Book Reviews of Cuentos de amor, de locura y de muerte
Book Review: Do not buy this edition!
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this edition of the book as part of a reading list for my doctoral exams. The text is there, but the punctuation in the book is HORRIBLE! That is, there are no accents or tildes - which is unacceptable for Spanish (especially since the use or lack of these can change the meaning of a word)! In addition, by the end of the first page, I noticed errors in verb conjugations in the Spanish - if you are only seeking to read the stories and are not bothered by the distraction of grammatical errors and trying to figure out what tense the verb SHOULD be, then this is for you. However, if you are relatively proficient in Spanish, the orthographic errors are completely maddening and impossible to ignore. Clearly, someone was hired to type up the text - and from appearances, does not know Spanish - or how to use a standard keyboard to create international characters. Additionally, I am so put off that anyone would have such a lack of consideration and actually publish this and put it out there for the general public! It is a disgrace to Horacio Quiroga and to academics alike who value language and accuracy. Choose another edition! I gave this book one star for having text.... not worth the trouble.
