About this product

Product Information

A dual-language edition of contemporary stories from throughout the Hispanic world, perfect for learners of either language This volume of ten short stories, with parallel translations, offers students of Spanish at all levels the opportunity to enjoy a wide range of contemporary literature, without having constantly to refer back to a dictionary. Richly diverse in themes and styles, the stories are by both new and well-established writers and range from the sharp insights of Gabriel Garc a M rquez's "Mar a dos Prazeres" and the teasing, deceptive simplicity of Javier Mar as's "On the Honeymoon" to Isabel Allende's powerful evocation of the oral traditions of the Amerindian and the philosophical speculation of Laura Freixas's "Absurd Ending." Complete with notes, the stories make excellent reading in either language.

  • Good but the “stories” are actually one story broken into short chapters.

    A very short book with few actual stories which were quite brief. It was actually one story broken into chapters. It should have been at least twice as long for the price. The “stories” were good and most of the words I wanted were translated, so it was educational.

  • This is such a great resource

    I love this book. Short stories in English and Spanish. I can read in one language and immediately see the translation. If you are learning a new language, this is a great way to go beyond simple exercised. It is a bit too advanced for rank beginners but it did motivate me to do better in Spanish.

  • Good book for practicing reading comprehension

    English translation included in the stories. Stories simpler to understand than other Spanish short storybooks.
