«Crimes Exemplares» is Max Aub's collection of short stories, published by Antígona in paperback, in Portuguese.
The book brings together a series of criminal confessions in very short stories, where black humour and irony combine to show the absurdity of human behaviour. The crimes are narrated naturally and without grandiloquence, as a social satire that invites reflection.
The work was originally published as «Crímenes ejemplares» in 1957; this Portuguese edition was translated by Jorge Lima Alves and was awarded the Grand Prix de l'Humour Noir.
For readers of short stories and black humour, and for anyone who wants to discover Max Aub.
