Ricardo Palma

Tradiciones Peruanas

Las Tradiciones peruanas, de Ricardo Palma (1833-1919), son una crónica apasionante de la historia del Perú. Es un libro lleno de imágenes atrapadas entre el costumbrismo, la ironía y la reflexión cultural. Palma sorprende por la modernidad y agudeza de su prosa, por su voluntad de construir una memoria nacional de marcado valor estético. Tradiciones peruanas, cuya serie de publicaciones inició en 1872 y se extendería hasta 1910, están escritas con un estilo muy personal. En él la ficción histórica se insinúa y mezcla, hábil, poética y satíricamente con la historia. Las Tradiciones peruanas presentan un amplio panorama de la vida peruana del tiempo de los incas. Encierran, ademas de episodios incaicos, los sucesos memorables de la Conquista y la Colonia. Hablan de la guerra de la Independencia nacional, y también de los acontecimientos del siglo XIX durante la vida de su autor. Él mismo afirmó, al presentar la primera serie de sus Tradiciones: «Me gusta mezclar lo trágico y lo cómico, la historia con la mentira». Las tradiciones son 453, cronológicamente, dentro de la historia peruana, seis de ellas se refieren al imperio incaico, 339 se refieren al virreinato, 43 se refieren a la emancipación, 49 se refieren a la república y 16 no se ubican en un periodo histórico preciso. Ricardo Rosell, su discípulo, dijo: «Con cuatro paliques, dos mentiras y una verdad, hilvana Palma una tradición.»

Peruvian author Ricardo Palma (1838-1919) was one of the most popular and imitated writers in Latin America during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. As head of the National Library in Lima, Palma had access to a rich source of historical books and manuscripts. His historical miscellanies, which he called "traditions," are witty anecdotes about conquerors, viceroys, corrupt and lovelorn friars, tragic loves and notorious characters. Humor, irony and word play characterize his collection of over five hundred traditions written between 1872 and 1906, whether describing violent deeds or amorous misadventures. Unlike many of his contemporaries in the second half of the nineteenth century, Palma did not write transparent didactic fictions and defend elite cultural forms. Rather, he reveled in ironic approaches to written sources, political authorities and church institutions as well as popular speech and knowledge. Both fiction and history, Palma's delightful Peruvian Traditions represents a hybrid literary form that constructs historical memory distinct from the dominant literary trends of the time.
