«Cuentos» is Pío Baroja's collection of short stories, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
The collection brings together short stories by Pío Baroja: almost all of those from «Vidas sombrías» and other later tales such as 'Elizabide el Vagabundo' and 'La dama de Urtubi'. The Basque landscape, Madrid settings, anarchist ideas, and a sadness before an unjust world appear, treated with lyricism and descriptive power.
This edition, published in 2006, belongs to the Biblioteca Baroja of El Libro de Bolsillo and includes a prologue by Julio Caro Baroja.
For readers of Spanish fiction interested in the Generation of '98 and in Pío Baroja's short-story output.
Pío Baroja y Nessi was a Spanish writer, one of the key novelists of the Generation of '98. He was a member of an illustrious family. His brother Ricardo was a painter, writer and engraver, and his nephew Julio Caro Baroja, son of his younger sister Carmen who was a goldsmith, was a well-known anthropologist.
