«Cuentos» is the short story collection by Leopoldo Alas «Clarín», published by Editorial Bruño in paperback (304 pages, in Spanish).
In this collection of short stories, Clarín practices a natural style that unites spoken and written language. The treatment of nature and sensations, such as those awakened by music, points to a modernist sensibility, with prose full of evocations and nuances.
It is part of the Anaquel collection (no. 53) and is designed as a reading book for the first year of Bachillerato, valid for all autonomous communities.
Recommended for young readers aged 14 and over approaching classical literature in Spanish.
Leopoldo Enrique García-Alas y Ureña, also known as Clarín, was a Spanish realist novelist and journalist born in Zamora. His inflammatory articles, known as paliques (“chitchat”), as well as his advocacy of liberalism and anti-clericalism, made him a formidable and controversial critical voice. He died in Oviedo.
