Synopsis "Dichos de Luder"

"La palabra, una vez suelta, jamás se recupera", escribe el poeta latino Horacio en su Arte poética (hacia el año 14 a. C.), en que reflexiona sobre la esencia y función del arte. A veces, cuando se conversa, se producen ocurrencias, réplicas, chistes, sentencias y aforismos brillantes. Pero, por no quedar registrados, se corre el temor de que se pierdan para siempre. Interesado en perpetuar esta clase de declaraciones, Ribeyro ha compuesto "Dichos de Luder", donde temas como la amistad, la muerte, la belleza y el amor son tratados con ingenio.
Con la máscara de Luder, Ribeyro expresa con libertad sus ideas, comentiendo algunas exageraciones, sin que se asegure que las dijo él. En la literatura peruana este libro es singular y carece de antecedentes. Esta segunda edición de "Dichos de Luder" aparece exactamente 25 años despues de la primera.

Julio Ramón Ribeyro (Lima, 1929 - 1994) was one of the most outstanding narrators of Peruvian and Latin American literature. Educated in Humanities and Law at the Catholic University of Lima, his life was marked by a deep connection with literature and a constant search for new forms of expression. In 1960, he moved to Paris, where, in addition to practicing journalism at France Presse, he held diplomatic roles, such as cultural advisor and ambassador to UNESCO. His work, translated into several languages, has been a fundamental reference in the study of 20th-century narrative.

Throughout his career, Ribeyro received accolades such as the National Literature Prize (1983) and the Juan Rulfo Prize (1994), establishing himself as a master of short narrative. His style, which addresses the complexities of the human condition, spans a wide range of genres and themes, with special attention to the details of everyday life.

Works like Los gallinazos sin plumas (1954), Cuentos de circunstancias (1958), and Silvio en El Rosedal (1977) reveal his ability to capture the essence of human existence, full of irony, pain, and hope. His legacy as a storyteller and his influence on generations of writers endure to this day.
