«El espejo en el espejo» is Michael Ende's collection of fantastic short stories, published by Alfaguara in hardback, 264 pages, in Spanish.
The book brings together thirty short narratives that oscillate between everyday reality and the fantastic, with atmospheres reminiscent of Kafka and Borges. Identity, war, love, solitude, magic and a critique of materialism run through its stories, forming a symbolic labyrinth where dreaminess and a lucid gaze on the world coexist.
The book, subtitled «Un laberinto», was originally published in German as «Der Spiegel im Spiegel: Ein Labyrinth» (1983). This Spanish edition, from 1986, includes the translation by Anton and Genoveva Dieterich.
Recommended for ages 14 and up; aimed at readers of fantastic fiction and short stories with dreamlike and symbolic atmospheres.
German author of fantasy children's and young adult literature, creator of The Neverending Story, Momo and Jim Button and Luke the Engine Driver. His works blend fantasy, philosophy and social critique.
