-Descripcion Original:

Manuel Zeno Gandia concibio su serie Cronicas de un mundo enfermo como la exploracion de una sociedad rural en subdesarrollo y de la marginacion del mundo campesino. Dentro de la serie, La charca, publicada en 1894, tiene un significado singular por su testimonio multiple, basado en el analisis del subdesarrollo del campesinado, el autoritarismo de los explotadores, la ruptura de los codigos de comportamiento moral, la carencia de solidaridad y las situaciones limite de violencia. / Before the turn of the century, while the rich in Madrid, Paris and Rome capped their sumptuous dinners with sips of Puerto Ricos exquisite black cafe, the anemic men, women and children who harvested the precious crop lived in squalid huts and rarely saw a scrap of meat. Brutalized by grinding poverty, theirs was the harsh world of Manuel Zeno-Gandias La Charca, published in 1894, and widely acknowledged as the first major novel to emerge from Puerto Rico.
