«Tres vidas de santos» is a volume of three stories by Eduardo Mendoza, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (200 pages, in Spanish).
It brings together three stories with a common trait: characters who give up everything for an idea, like saints. «La ballena» begins at the 1952 Eucharistic Congress; «El final de Dubslav», in Africa; «El malentendido» reflects on literary creation and dialogue between classes, with echoes of Mendoza's nameless detective. It combines seriousness and irony.
Círculo de Lectores edition published in December 2009; hardback with illustrated dust jacket, 200 pages.
For readers of ironic stories and followers of Eduardo Mendoza; it will especially interest those who appreciate contemporary Spanish narrative.
