«Bajo el sol jaguar» is a short story collection by Italo Calvino, published by Tusquets in paperback (120 pages, in Spanish).
The book brings together three tales about smell, taste and hearing: the search for a perfume, a trip to Oaxaca where gastronomy awakens desire, and a king who scrutinizes the sounds of the palace. Calvino planned a story for each sense, but the project remained unfinished after his death.
Volume in the Fábula collection from Tusquets. Work originally published in Italian as «Sotto il sole giaguaro», with translation by Aurora Bernárdez.
For readers of short stories and literary fiction, particularly those interested in twentieth-century Italian literature.
