★ The founder of the magical realism novel genre, known as the "pioneer of the new Latin American novel", leading the trend of the Latin American "literary explosion"

The prototype of the classic opening of "One Hundred Years of Solitude" was inspired by "Pedro Páramo"

In Rulfo's work, García Márquez "found the path he needed to find to continue writing books."

★ He left behind only a very limited number of works in his lifetime, but he is regarded as a literary idol by many writers——

García Márquez, Oe Kenzaburo, Le Clézio…they all loved Rulfo’s description of the wilderness;

Yu Hua, Mo Yan, Su Tong...they were all deeply influenced by Rulfo

★ Translated directly from Spanish by renowned translators/scholars Zhao Zhenjiang, Tu Mengchao, Zhang Weijie, and Jin Can, with a preface and introduction, and including valuable content such as García Márquez's long preface, the author's autobiography, and a dedication to the Rulfo Foundation

【Content Introduction】

Dionisio Pinzón, with a disabled arm, could only make a living as a "caller" in his village. At a temple fair, he rescued a dying golden rooster and cared for it lovingly, but his mother died from overwork. With nothing left, he placed his fate in the care of the rooster and decided to venture out on his own.

The golden rooster won countless cockfights, unexpectedly giving him the courage to live. Traveling extensively, Benson met a "castrated chicken lady," and wherever she was, he was invincible. Just when he thought his luck had turned, fate had its own plans...

【Celebrity Reviews】

Carlos Vero's commission to adapt The Golden Chicken for the screen forced me to delve deeper into a work I was sure I knew better than the author himself. ... Rulfo's personal charm shines through in his writing.

—Gabriel García Márquez

It would be foolish and wrong to relegate The Golden Cockerel to the lesser end of the spectrum, regardless of the author's canon. Perhaps it is more appropriate to consider that Juan Rulfo felt the inner vitality that literature, as a film script, can evoke.

——Zhao Zhenjiang

Juan Rulfo reflects on the last men and women of our land.

—Carlos Fuentes

Rulfo's writing reveals "a landscape that is not what we see with our eyes, but what lies behind our sight. A landscape that never speaks of itself but of something else, even something more distant. It is a metaphysical, a religious, a thought about man and the universe. (…) Rulfo is the only Mexican novelist who has given us an image of the Mexican landscape rather than a description of it."

—Octavio Paz

Rulfo's novel is not only a masterpiece of 20th-century literature, but also one of the most influential books of the 20th century.

—Susan Sontag

It was Juan Rulfo who truly opened the entrance to time for the first time. It was that mysterious, irrational, multi-time concept that transcends life and death and breaks logic that made him obsessed and pushed the writing of "regionalism" to a dreamlike and divine extreme.

——Jidi Maga

Rulfo's novels are like sad songs that wander through the Mexican countryside, with no beginning or end and confusing lyrics.

——Zhang Jiawei
