Salvador Efraín Salazar Arrué (October 22, 1899 – November 27, 1975), known as Salarrué (a derivation of his surnames), was a Salvadoran writer, poet and painter Born in Sonsonate to a well-off family, Salarrué trained as a painter at the Corcoran School of Art, in Washington, D.C., from 1916 to 1919. He then returned to El Salvador and, in 1922, married fellow painter Zélie Lardé, with whom he had three daughters. In the late 1920s he worked as editor for the newspaper ''Patria'', owned by Alberto Masferrer, an important Salvadoran intellectual. To fill in blank spaces in the newspaper, Salarrué wrote a series of short stories which were collected thirty years later as ''Cuentos de Cipotes'' ("Children's Stories"). These and the stories in ''Cuentos de Barro'' ("Tales of Clay") became Salarrué's most popular and enduring work, reflecting an idealized version of rural life in El Salvador and making him one of the founders of the new wave of Latin American folkloric narrative (''narrativa costumbrista''). However, few readers understand that the stories in ''Cuentos de Barro'' were an ingenious literary feat of Salarrué. By disguising through a subtle use of a non-standard, highly inventive language and style, he was able to recall to readers a bloody masacre carried out by the Salvadoran dictator-president, General Maximiliano Hernandez Martinez in 1933, without the authorities being able to interpret Salarrué's defamation of that leader. Salarrué lived in the United States from 1947 to 1951 while representing his country in diplomatic posts. He died in Los Planes de Renderos, near San Salvador, and is buried in the ''Cementerio de los Ilustres'' ("Cemetery of Distinguished Citizens"). ==Works== *''El Cristo Negro'' (The Black Christ) (1927) *''El Señor de la Burbuja'' (The Lord of The Bubble) (1927) *''O Yarkandal'' (1929) *''Remotando el Uluán'' (Remoting the Uluan) (1932) *''Cuentos de Barro'' (Clay Stories) (1933) *''Conjeturas en la Penumbra'' (Conjectures in the twilight) (1934) *''Eso y Más'' (That and More) (1940) *''Cuentos de Cipotes'' (Children Stories) (1945). *''Trasmallo'' (1954) *''La Espada y Otras Narraciones'' (The Sword and Other Narrations) (1960) *''Vilanos'' (1969) *''El Libro Desnudo'' (The Naked Book) (1969) *''Ingrimo'' (1969) *''La Sombra y Otros Motivos Literiarios'' (The Shadow and other Literary Motifs) (1969) *''La Sed de Sling Bader'' (Sling Bader's Thirst) (1971) *''Catleya Luna'' (1974) *''Mundo Nomasito'' (Poesía -1975) 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「Salarrué」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
