Seventeen stories from the Caribbean and Central and South America encompass a tremendous variety of subjects, settings, moods, and styles--from worldly sophistication to outright savagery. Ranging in publication dates from 1867 to 1922, each story is by a different writer, with a different national origin from the others in this collection. All authors are well-known names in Spanish literature (e.g. Ruben Dario, Jose Marti, Amado Nervo, Romulo Gallegos, and Ricardo Palma), making this compilation equally appealing to readers in and out of the classroom.
These 17 stories from the Caribbean and Central and South America encompass a tremendous variety of subjects, settings, and styles, and range in publication from 1867 to 1922. All are well-known names in world literature, including Rubén Darío, José Martí, Amado Nervo, Rómulo Gallegos, and Ricardo Palma. This dual-language edition features an informative introduction.
