«Las hormigas» is Boris Vian's collection of surrealist short stories, published by Bruguera in paperback (219 pages, in Spanish).
Eleven stories, written between 1944 and 1947 and published in 1949, in which Vian combines surrealism, humour, tenderness, violence and cruelty to address war, the disproportion of values, betrayal and emotional failure. Vian denounces mediocrity and stupidity and champions freedom and peace through negation in fiction.
This 1983 Spanish edition belongs to the Libro Amigo collection (no. 969) and includes the translation from French by José Benito Alique.
A work for readers of short fiction and French surrealism, with Boris Vian's characteristic humour.
Boris Vian was a French polymath who is primarily remembered for his novels. Those published under the pseudonym Vernon Sullivan were bizarre parodies of criminal fiction, highly controversial at the time of their release owing to their unconventional outlook.
