Siete novelas cortas is a collection of short stories by the Spanish author Carmen Laforet, published by Menoscuarto Ediciones. This volume, with a prologue by Álvaro Pombo, brings together seven narratives written between 1952 and 1954, after the success of her first novel, Nada. The stories explore the Spanish post-war period through characters and situations that reflect Laforet's unmistakable voice and her renewing role in 20th-century narrative. It includes stories such as El piano, La llamada, and El viaje divertido.
Carmen Laforet was a Spanish author who wrote in the period after the Spanish Civil War. An important European writer, her works contributed to the school of Existentialist Literature and her first novel Nada continued the Spanish tremendismo literary style begun by Camilo José Cela with his novel, La familia de Pascual Duarte. She received the Premio Nadal in 1944.
