El libro 'El eclipse y otros cuentos' es una colección de relatos del autor guatemalteco Augusto Monterroso. Sus cuentos se caracterizan por una fantasía exuberante y una visión irónica del mundo, que es a la vez amarga y tierna. La habilidad de Monterroso para abordar y concluir sus ideas en espacios breves no disminuye el impacto que tienen en el lector. Los textos reunidos en esta edición han sido seleccionados por el autor.
