Horacio Quiroga, full name Horacio Silvestre Quiroga Forteza, was a Uruguayan short story writer, poet and playwright who lived from 31 December 1878 to 19 February 1937. Quiroga's jungle settings stress the conflict between people and nature. Edgar Allan Poe shaped his depictions of mental illness and hallucination, and Quiroga in turn influenced Gabriel García Márquez and Julio Cortázar. The catalogue lists 16 books from Coral Reefs (1901) to The Chair of Pain (1937), including Stories of Love, Madness, and Death (1917), Jungle Tales (1918) and Anaconda (1921).
