El libro que hizo célebre a Kate Chopin, mucho antes de que El despertar la volviera escandalosa.Publicada en 1894, La gente de Bayou es la primera y más aclamada colección de relatos de Kate Chopin: veintitrés historias sobre la vida en los bayous, las plantaciones y los pequeños pueblos de la Luisiana posterior a la Guerra de Secesión. Con mirada penetrante y profunda empatía, Chopin da vida a todo un mundo —criollos, cajunes, antiguos esclavos, personas de color en libertad, blancos pobres y ricos terratenientes—, todos enfrentados a los rígidos códigos sociales del Sur estadounidense. Entre estas páginas laten la raza y el prejuicio, el amor y el deseo, y las rebeliones silenciosas de mujeres que anhelan libertad en un mundo empeñado en negársela.Escribiendo en dialecto y con un rico color local, Chopin capta los ritmos y las costumbres de una sociedad desaparecida. Reconocida hoy como una de las voces esenciales de la literatura estadounidense y precursora de la ficción feminista del siglo XX, fue con esta obra —elogiada en todo el país y publicada por las revistas más prestigiosas de su tiempo— con la que consolidó su reputación. Kate Chopin (1850-1904) firma aquí una obra maestra del relato breve, disponible ahora en una nueva traducción al español. 10
