«Mientras la tierra gira» is the short story collection by José Luis Sampedro published by DEBOLSILLO in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
It brings together stories written over more than three decades, many originally published in magazines and newspapers now hard to find, along with unpublished tales. Sampedro alternates realist chronicles with fantastic fables, and the work's interest lies in the characters' gestures and their journey through human emotions and desires.
It collects thirty-two stories divided into three thematic and chronological blocks; it belongs to the Contemporánea collection from Debolsillo.
José Luis Sampedro Sáez was a Spanish economist and writer who advocated an economy "more humane, more caring, able to help develop the dignity of peoples". Academician of the Real Academia Española since 1990, he was the recipient of the Order of Arts and Letters of Spain, the Menéndez Pelayo International Prize (2010) and the Spanish Literature National Prize (2011). He became an inspiration for the anti-austerity movement in Spain.
