«Doce cuentos sutiles» is the short story collection by Leopoldo Alas, Clarín, published by Navona in paperback (128 pages, in Spanish).
This collection brings together twelve stories where action takes a back seat to revealing gestures and epiphanies. The characters, portrayed with psychological acuity, show the greatness and pettiness of those struggling to live: perfect and imperfect wives, minor comedians, mature gallants and retired scholars at spas.
The book belongs to Navona's Reencuentros collection, dedicated to recovering little-known works by great authors, and includes a prologue by José Luis Piquero.
For readers of classic Spanish fiction and stories with a psychological gaze.
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.
