«El ángel negro» is the book of six stories by Antonio Tabucchi, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardback (168 pages, in Spanish).
The book brings together six stories in which the irruption of evil alters everyday scenes. Two of the tales share the enigmatic figure of Tadeus, and water appears as a recurring motif through the trout and Captain Nemo, who visits a child's imagination. A disquieting and elegant atmosphere unites the stories.
Panorama de narrativas collection, no. 267. Translation by Carlos Gumpert and Xavier González Rovira; original work in Italian «L'angelo nero».
For readers of short stories and contemporary fiction interested in unsettling atmospheres and elegant narration.
Antonio Tabucchi was an Italian writer and academic who taught Portuguese language and literature at the University of Siena, Italy. Deeply in love with Portugal, he was an expert, critic and translator of the works of Fernando Pessoa from whom he drew the conceptions of saudade, of fiction and of the heteronyms. Tabucchi was first introduced to Pessoa's works in the 1960s when attending the Sorbonne. He was so charmed that when he returned to Italy, he took an introductory course in Portuguese for a better comprehension of the poet.
