«Cuentos fantásticos» is Rubén Darío's collection of short stories, published by Alianza in paperback (117 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together eight stories by Rubén Darío that move between the marvellous and the supernatural: vampires with a theosophical background, dreams of universal scope, time standing still, apparitions of the devil, reincarnations and nightmares. The work closes with an essay by the author on Edgar Allan Poe and dreams.
The selection and prologue are by José Olivio Jiménez; the volume belongs to Alianza's El Libro de Bolsillo (no. 646, Literature section), published in 1977.
For readers of fantastic literature and short fiction who want to discover the storytelling side of Rubén Darío, better known for his poetry.
Félix Rubén García Sarmiento, known as Rubén Darío, was a Nicaraguan poet who initiated the Spanish-language literary movement known as modernismo (modernism) that flourished at the end of the 19th century. Darío had a great and lasting influence on 20th-century Spanish-language literature and journalism.
