Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 846631900X, Paperback)

One by one, each short story leaves a deep impression in the reader s memory and sensibility. In ''Silla'', an insect eats away Salazar's chair until he falls from his dictatorship.''Embargo'' tells the tale of a man worried for his automobile, when all gasoline is disappearing and death hovers over both. In ''Reflujo'', one cemetery is absorbing all the other ones. In ''Cosas'', the author imagines a city under a dictatorship. A fantastic being, half man and half horse, has been hiding for centuries in the shadow of ''Centauro''. Plus, ''Desquite'' is a parable in which a boy dives into a river knowing that on the other side awaits a naked girl. Description in Spanish: Saramago nos ofrece en este libro una coleccion de cuentos. En ''Silla'', una carcoma va royendo el asiento de Salazar hasta que cae la dictadura. ''Embargo'' nos cuenta la ocupacion de un hombre por su automovil, mientras la gasolina se acaba y la muerte se cierne sobre ambos. En ''Reflujo'', un unico cementerio va absorbiendo todos los demas. En ''Cosas'' el autor imagina una ciudad sometida a una dictadura absoluta. Un ultimo ser fantastico, mitad hombre y mitad caballo, se esconde en las sombras de ''Centauro''. Y en ''Desquite'' un muchacho se lanza a un rio sabiendo que en la otra orilla lo espera una chica desnuda.
