«Historias naturales» is Jules Renard's collection of short stories, published by Debolsillo in paperback (216 pages, in Spanish).
The book brings together brief portraits of animals and natural scenes drawn with an almost aphoristic precision. Each piece combines humor and lyricism, and the whole works as a bestiary that also reflects late nineteenth-century France; these prints inspired a musical composition by Maurice Ravel.
It belongs to the Contemporánea collection. This edition is based on the 1909 one, the last published during the author's lifetime, and includes twenty-two lithographs by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec; translation by Joan Riambau Moller.
For readers of short fiction, observational prose and late nineteenth-century French literature.
Pierre-Jules Renard was a French author and member of the Académie Goncourt, most famous for the works Poil de carotte and Les Histoires Naturelles. Among his other works are Le Plaisir de rompre and the posthumously published Huit Jours à la campagne.
