«Cuentos de invierno» is the short story collection by Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen), published by Alfaguara in hardcover (336 pages, in Spanish).
Stories that interlock like Chinese boxes, where the magic of fairy tales and the morality of myths coexist with human portraits. A writer understands after a night of wandering the value of love; a landowner, the strength of maternal instinct; a traveler disarms a woman's haughtiness by posing as her servant.
Originally published in Danish as «Vinter-Eventyr» in 1942; translated by Francisco Torres Oliver.
A work for readers of classic tales and Nordic literature seeking intimate atmospheres and conflicted characters.
Baroness Karen Christentze von Blixen-Finecke was a Danish author who wrote in Danish and English. She is also known under her pen names Isak Dinesen, used in English-speaking countries; Tania Blixen, used in German-speaking countries; Osceola, and Pierre Andrézel.
