«Los amores difíciles» is a collection of thirteen short stories by writer Italo Calvino, published by RBA in paperback (251 pages, in Spanish).
Told mostly in the third person, these stories feature characters who cannot verbalize their feelings: a bather who does not ask for help, a soldier on a train, a shortsighted man lost in thought, or a motorist after a breakup. Stories of missed connections and often open endings about love, communication, and solitude in everyday life.
Collection «Narrativa actual», no. 55, from RBA; translation by Aurora Bernárdez of the Italian original «Gli amori difficili», originally published in 1958.
For readers of short fiction and twentieth-century Italian literature interested in the psychological observation of everyday life.
Italo Calvino was an Italian novelist and short story writer. His best-known works include the Our Ancestors trilogy (1952–1959), the Cosmicomics collection of short stories (1965), and the novels Invisible Cities (1972) and If on a winter's night a traveler (1979).
