«Cuentos morales» is a collection of stories by Leopoldo Alas Clarín, published in paperback by Alianza / Club Internacional del Libro (285 pages).
Leopoldo Alas «Clarín» brings together stories that examine the morality and customs of Spanish society of his time with irony. The author presents the stories as a literary program, not as a defense of any school or tendency. The stories combine satirical, dreamlike and symbolic registers, and focus on characters and settings rather than action.
Volume 43 of the Biblioteca Fundamental de Nuestro Tiempo collection; third edition of 1984, in Spanish.
For those interested in classic Spanish literature and the short story of the late nineteenth century.
Leopoldo Enrique García-Alas y Ureña, also known as Clarín, was a Spanish realist novelist and journalist born in Zamora. His inflammatory articles, known as paliques (“chitchat”), as well as his advocacy of liberalism and anti-clericalism, made him a formidable and controversial critical voice. He died in Oviedo.
