Todos los fuegos el fuego
Julio Cortázar
All Fires the Fire offers eight great examples of the creative fullness that encompasses Cortázar's stories. From the exasperated metaphor of human relationships that is "La autopista del sur" through the masterpiece that is "El otro cielo," Cortázar once again paves the way to stories that are a must-read for lovers of the story genre in general. "La salud de los enfermos," "Reunión," "La señorita Cora," "La isla a mediodía," "Instrucciones para John Howell," and "Todos los fuegos el fuego" are a celebration of intelligence, passion, and genius.
The bitter smell of almonds
Arnošt Lustig
"The Bitter Smell of Almonds brings together for the first time Arnost Lustig's short-story collection Street of Lost Brothers, the novel Dita Saxova, and the novellas of Indecent Dreams. The works in this omnibus edition reverberate with the torments of suffering and survival, loss and contradiction. Lustig's themes are as old and as universal as humankind's search for the meaning of existence, and his characters, often confronted with people or situations they cannot comprehend, attempt to come to terms with the unthinkable and with life itself."--BOOK JACKET.
