El fuego de los pastores

Synopsis of El fuego de los pastores

«El fuego de los pastores» is a short story collection by Concha López Narváez, published by Espasa in paperback (105 pages, in Spanish).

At dusk, the shepherds light a bonfire and the cortijo's inhabitants gather around it; amid memories and oral tales, stories of the Andalusian countryside pass by with wolves, apparitions, escaped bulls, and ownerless dogs. Concha López Narváez evokes the emotion with which she listened to these narratives as a child and recreates them transformed by memory.

This book belongs to the Espasa Juvenil collection and this edition includes illustrations by Rafael Salmerón.

Intended for child and young adult readers, especially those who appreciate rural-set stories and oral tradition.
