«Cuentos orientales» is a collection of short stories by Marguerite Yourcenar, published by Alfaguara in paperback (163 pages, in Spanish).
Stories first collected in 1938 that reveal Marguerite Yourcenar's attraction to the East. From China to Greece and from the Balkans to Japan, these legends and fables offer a highly personal prose, halfway between folk tale and the exploration of a different world.
Part of the Literatura Alfaguara collection (no. 103). Translated by Emma Calatayud from the original 'Nouvelles orientales'.
For readers of classic short fiction and twentieth-century French literature.
