«Tres vidas de santos» is a collection of three short stories by Eduardo Mendoza, published by Seix Barral in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
Three stories whose plots share characters who are neither martyrs nor anchorites, but who give up everything for an idea and traverse the darkest corners of the spirit. «La ballena» approaches the author's Barcelona chronicles; «El final de Dubslav» takes place in Africa; «El malentendido» deals with literary creation and the encounter between social classes.
The work belongs to the Biblioteca Breve collection from Seix Barral and was published on 20 October 2009.
It will appeal to readers of short stories and contemporary Spanish fiction, as well as followers of Eduardo Mendoza's work.
