«Magdalena peruana y otros cuentos» is Alfredo Bryce Echenique's collection of short stories, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (188 pages, in Spanish).
The twelve stories in the volume explore identity, nostalgia and human relationships, with characters moving between Peru and Europe. Bryce Echenique's prose combines melancholy and humour to portray these lives, and the story «Magdalena peruana», which gives the collection its title, is a homage to Marcel Proust.
The work belongs to the Plaza & Janés/literaria series; its first edition appeared in 1986.
