Juan Nepomuceno Carlos Pérez Rulfo Vizcaíno, best known as Juan Rulfo ( ; 16 May 1917 – 7 January 1986), was a Mexican writer, screenwriter and photographer. He is best known for two literary works, ''El Llano en llamas'' (1953), a collection of short stories, and the 1955 novel ''Pedro Páramo''. Fifteen of the seventeen short stories in ''El Llano en llamas'' have been translated into English and published as ''The Burning Plain and Other Stories''. This collection includes the popular tale "¡Diles que no me maten!" ("Tell Them Not to Kill Me!"). The Juan Rulfo Foundation, which was established by Rulfo's family after his death,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Culturafnac - Otra forma de mirar la cultura y la tecnología )〕 holds more than 6,000 negatives of his photographs. ==Early life== Rulfo was born in 1917 in Apulco, Jalisco (although he was registered at Sayula, Jalisco), in the home of his paternal grandfather.〔 Rulfo's birth year was often listed as 1918, because he had provided an inaccurate date to get into the military academy that his uncle, David Pérez Rulfo — a colonel working for the government — directed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=- University of Texas Press )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sacabo & Rulfo )〕 After his father was killed in 1923 and his mother died in 1927, Rulfo's grandmother raised him in the town of San Gabriel, Jalisco.〔 Their extended family consisted of landowners whose fortunes were ruined by the Mexican Revolution and the Cristero War of 1926–1928, a Roman Catholic integralist revolt against the government of Mexico following the Mexican Revolution. Rulfo was sent to study in the Luis Silva School, where he lived from 1928 to 1932. He completed six years of elementary school and a special seventh year from which he graduated as a bookkeeper, though he never practiced that profession. Rulfo attended a seminary (analogous to a secondary school) from 1932 to 1934, but did not attend a university afterwards, as the University of Guadalajara was closed due to a strike and because Rulfo had not taken preparatory school courses.〔 Rulfo moved to Mexico City, where he entered the National Military Academy, which he left after three months. He then hoped to study law at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. In 1936, Rulfo was able to audit courses in literature at the University, because he obtained a job as an immigration file clerk through his uncle.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Juan Rulfo )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Juan Rulfo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
