No tags None No current Talk conversations about this book. No reviews no reviews | add a review
Fernan Caballero's "Juan Holgado y la muerte/Juan Holgado and Death, " Antonio de Trueba's "Tragaldabas/Glutton, " and Pedro Antonio de Alarcon's "El amigo de la muerte/Death's Friend" all have as their subject a desperate man who makes a pact with Death to achieve his ends. Written by three of the country's best-known short story writers, these three Death-and-the-Doctor tales fill a lacuna in the Godfather Death motif of Western European literature and highlight the universality of Spain's folk tradition. Each tale is printed in both English and Spanish. No library descriptions found. |
