Richly diverse in themes and styles, the stories are by both new and well-established writers and range from the sharp insights of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's "Maria dos Prazeres" and the teasing, deceptive simplicity of Javier Marias's "On the Honeymoon" to Isabel Allende's powerful evocation of the oral traditions of the Amerindian and the philosophical speculation of Laura Freixas's "Absurd Ending."
Complete with notes, the stories make excellent reading in either language. Author descriptionJohn King is a teacher of Spanish at Eton College. |
