Clorinda Matto de Turner, sin duda la escritora pionera de nuestra literatura indigenista y tambien una de las primera voces que se manifestaron por la vindicacion de la mujer en hispanoamerica, nacio en el Peru en 1852 y murio en la Argentina en 1909. Ejercio casi toda su vida el periodismo, actuo intensamente en politica y, por sus idea liberales, padecio excomunion y exilio.Su producion literaria se columpia entre el romantcismo que agoniza y el realismo que germina. Dejo escrito varios cuentos a los que llamba Tradiciones, a la manera de Ricardo Palma su maestro en este genero; un drama, Hima Sumac (1892), y tres novelas, Aves sin nido (1889), Indole (1891) y Herencia (1895). Pero sera por Aves sin nido que el nombre de Clorinda Matto de Turner este vigente, puesto que es la primera obra en que el indio deja de ser una entidad social, ya que se denuncia la situacion del indigens cercado y expoliando por el poder politico y clerical. -- from book's back cover

Aves Sin Nido

Edittorial Oasis

Si la historia es el espejo donde las generaciones por venir han de contemplar la imagen de las generaciones que fueron, la novela tiene que ser la fotografia que estereotipe los vicios y las virtudes de un pueblo, con la consiguiente moraleja correctiva para aquellos y el homenaje de admiracion para estas. Es tal, por esto, la importancia de la novela de costumbres, que, en sus hojas contienen muchas veces el secreto de la reforma de algunos tipos, cuando no su extincion. En los paises en que, como el nuestro la Literatura se halla en su cuna, tiene la novela que ejercer mayor influjo en la morigeracion de las costumbres, y, por lo tanto, cuando se presenta una obra con tendencias levantadas a regiones superiores a aquellas en que nace y vive la novela cuya trama es puramente amorosa o recreativa, bien puede implorar la atencion de su publico para que extendiendole la mano la entregue al pueblo.

Aves sin nido (Spanish Edition)

Colofon, S.A.

Clorinda Matto de Turner's second novel, Indole, was published in Lima in 1891, two years after her Aves sin nido shocked the Peruvian reading public with its forthright criticism of Church and state corruption. Like Aves, Indole dramatizes the liberal reformist anticlericalism of late nineteenth century political debates, and is also set in a small Andean town surrounded by outlying haciendas. But in Indole, the town is a stable and basically happy one, where indigenous people, mestizos and landowners of Spanish descent live harmoniously in a beautiful Andean valley. Matto's journalistic ambition to document people's appearance and behavior in detail, and her close attention to the dynamics of gender, race and class, produces a vivid analysis of small town life in 1858, complete with an army batallion sweeping through at the end on its way to retake Arequipa for Ramón Castilla, placing the fictive town of Rosalina in a historical national framework. Clorinda Matto de Turner (1852-1909) was born in Cusco, grew up on a rural estate speaking Quechua, married an English businessman and settled with him in Tinta, a town very much like Indole's Rosalina. After his death, when she was already a well-established writer, she became the editor of the newspaper La Bolsa of Arequipa, and later of El Perú Ilustrado in Lima. Her liberal reformism and activism made her many enemies, and in 1895 she had to leave Perú, and she moved to Buenos Aires, where she founded another newspaper, Búcaro americano. She published thousands of articles and editorials, legends, tradiciones and biographies, as well as three novels in which she sought to define models of the ideal citizens of a rapidly modernizing Peru, and in which she denounced corruption, immoral behavior, and laziness. This edition of Indole has been updated with plentiful footnotes and a critical introduction by Mary G. Berg, author of many excellent studies of Latin American women writers and their times. This novel would fit well into courses on Latin American narrative, women writers, Peruvian history, gender and cultural studies, and nation-building in the nineteenth century.
