Cuentos y Relatos (Spanish Edition)

Did you know that the great Romantic poet, José María Heredia, also wrote short stories and narratives that he published as early as 1829? Don't feel embarrassed if you didn't! Even many literary specialists and critics in this field were unaware until now. You, too, can duly inform yourself of this fact while simultaneously experiencing the enjoyment of reading many of these tales that have been gathered together for the first time in one beautifully published volume, Cuentos y relatos. This collection consists of thirteen narratives that Heredia published between 1829 and 1832 in the pages of La Miscelánea and La Minerva, two Mexican magazines of which he was editor. The stories have been brought together by Rolando D. H. Morelli, writer, professor and literary investigator, who is also the author of the introductory section; a brief study placing the stories and their author in the appropriate historical framework and highlighting the importance and significance of the compilation. This volume will be much talked about and undoubtedly constitutes a milestone in Heredian studies as well as in the annals of all Hispanic literary romanticism.
