This collection offers a rich sampling of significant Mexican short stories published from 1843 to 1918. Nine different tales range from the realism of Lpez Portillo's Reloj sin dueo and the modernismo saturating Gutirrez Njera's 'La maana de San Juan' to the historical accuracy of Riva Palacio's 'Las mulas de Su Excelencia' and the vivid romanticism of 'Amor secreto' by Manuel Payno, named the 'father of Mexican short stories.'Each story appears in its original Spanish text with expert English translations on each facing page. This duallanguage edition features a fascinating new introduction and ample footnotes. An easyreading pleasure for lovers of fine Spanishlanguage literature, it is also a valuable educational aid for students and teachers.
