Noches Blancas

A collection of love stories written in Spanish, most only a few pages long. Pardo Bazán writes about jealousy and marriage without softening anything.

Emilia Pardo Bazán

Stories set mostly in the jungle, where love and death sit close together. Each one is short and ends fast.

Horacio Quiroga

Short gothic tales about ghosts, ruins, and doomed love, written in Spanish. They read like campfire stories and bridge the gap between poetry and prose.

Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer

Twenty five short stories by Darío in an illustrated edition made for classroom use. The stories are brief and the print is large and clean.
