This refreshing new text for intermediate-to-advanced (4th-6th semester) reading courses is specifically designed to bridge the gap between basic language courses students take their first two years and upper level literature. "Tapices literarios" provides an interesting collection of thought provoking stories by a mix of better and lesser known authors. The writers come from many different countries and represent the wide diversity of the Spanish-speaking world. Two audiotapes containing all of the stories, read by native Spanish speakers, are included with every new copy of the text.
