«El potro salvaje» is a short novel by Horacio Quiroga published by Compañía Europea de Comunicación e Información in paperback (93 pages, in Spanish).
The story follows a wild colt with an enormous passion for running; its gallop becomes a spectacle. When it agrees to run for payment, the adventure drifts into conflict. Quiroga's descriptive prose reflects a love of nature and poses freedom and survival as the axes of the tale.
The volume is number 106 of the Biblioteca de El Sol collection and corresponds to the edition published in 1991.
Suitable for readers aged 12 and up, especially those seeking classic Latin American narrative and stories about animals.
Horacio Silvestre Quiroga Forteza was a Uruguayan playwright, poet, and short story writer. The jungle settings of his stories emphasized the conflict between humans and nature. His portrayals of mental illness and hallucinatory states were influenced by Edgar Allan Poe. In turn, Quiroga influenced Gabriel García Márquez and Julio Cortázar.
