This dissertation examines the life and works of Venezuelan writer Arturo Uslar Pietri. / Although regarded by many to be among the best contemporary writers in Latin America, and certainly among the most prolific, Arturo Uslar Pietri has not enjoyed the recognition in the United States that he has enjoyed in Latin America. For this reason, it is the intention of this study to provide an introduction to the life and works of such a distinguished writer. / The research is divided in three chapters. The introductory chapter presents a biographical sketch of Arturo Uslar Pietri accompanied by a brief description of a number of his better known writings. / The succeeding chapter consists of an annotated bibliography of the works written by Uslar Pietri. The bibliographical entries are divided into nine categories. These are: novels, short stories, theater, poetry, essays, biographies, articles, introductions, and anthologies. The list includes only the compositions that were uncovered during the investigation. / The concluding chapter is also an annotated bibliography. However, the entries that appear in this chapter include works of criticism on Arturo Uslar Pietri's writings. It consists primarily of books and articles. / Arturo Uslar Pietri is mostly known for his short stories and historical novels that depict the life in Venezuela from the time of the conquest to the present time. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 47-06, Section: A, page: 2174. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1986.
