Myth and legend have existed in Mexico in prehispanic times as a
means to transmit cosmogonical or ethological visions. During the
colonial period short stories appear intertwined in the many
chronicles, histories and writings of the conquistadores, priests
and other men of letters. With the Diario de Mexico (1805), the
short story starts its long association with journalism, and
appears along novels such as Jose Joaquin Fernandez de Lizardi's.
Literary magazines also were a fertile environment, but it was in
1870, when Jose Maria Roa Barcena published "Noche al raso," an
integrated recopilation, and Vicente Riva Palacio his "Cuentos del
general" (1896), that the mexican short story began to acquire its
prestige as a literary genre, to reach its high artistic level with
Gutierrez Najera, Amado Nervo and other "modernists." During the
twentieth century various tendencies appeared: the vanguardist
school, along Alfonso Reyes, Julio Torri and others; the
revolutionary period, centered in the civil war and indigenous
issues; and the post-revolutionary period, when the mexican short
story finally obtained its international literary high reputation.
This anthology, compiled and commented by prof. Luis Leal, gathers
stories representative of the genre in Mexico that span from the
origins up to the years affected by the Revolution, and constitutes
a captivating study reading material both for entry and upper
levels Spanish courses.
