Description
Explore Spain's rich literary landscape with some of the country's best contemporary writers. Arranged geographically, these thirty stories -- many of which appear in English for the first time -- transport the reader through Spain's many enchanting regions: experience a bull-run with Juan Goytisolo in Albacete, join Bernardo Atxaga in a Basque village, travel to the misty woods of Galicia with Manuel Rivas, and reminisce with Julio Llamazares over black-and-white photos of his childhood Spain.
Reviews / Votes
"This compilation...'strives to go beyond the commonplaces' and overwhelmingly succeeds in this...vivid and descriptive images and more subtle suggestions of the landscape and culture...The collection is a good one, well selected and translated, and conveys a real senseof Spain as a country but also as a people..." -- British Bulletin of Publications on Latin America, April 2003.More details
