This hand-picked selection from The Penguin Book of Spanish Short
Stories celebrates the best literature to emerge from Spain since
the twentieth century. From a poignant personal betrayal to a
darkly humorous exchange between two wedding guests, this sparkling
collection provides unique cultural insight and literary
inspiration for language learners. Includes works from beloved
authors such as Javier MarĂas, Carmen Laforet and more.
This exciting collection celebrates the richness and variety of the
Spanish short story, from the nineteenth century to the present
day. Featuring over fifty stories selected by revered translator
Margaret Jull Costa, it blends old favourites and hidden gems -
many of which have never before been translated into English - and
introduces readers to surprising new voices as well as giants of
Spanish literary culture, from Emilia Pardo Bazan and Leopoldo
Alas, through Merce Rodoreda and Manuel Rivas, to Ana Maria Matute
and Javier Marias. Brimming with romance, horror, history, farce,
strangeness and beauty, and showcasing alluring hairdressers, war
defectors, vampiric mothers, and talismanic mandrake roots, the
daring and entertaining assortment of tales in The Penguin Book of
Spanish Short Stories will be a treasure trove for readers.
