«Mar al fondo» is José Luis Sampedro's collection of short stories, published by Destino in paperback (194 pages, in Spanish).
A collection of short stories that travel across different seas —from the South Sea to the Arctic Ocean, with stops in the Mediterranean, the Aegean and the Baltic— and the emotions they awaken in those who behold them. Sampedro attributes a soul of its own to each sea and employs intense language to speak of freedom, desire and the urge to merge with the sea.
The work was published in 1992 and corresponds to number 692 of Destino's Áncora y Delfín collection.
For readers of contemporary Spanish fiction seeking sea-themed stories with a variety of settings.
José Luis Sampedro Sáez was a Spanish economist and writer who advocated an economy "more humane, more caring, able to help develop the dignity of peoples". Academician of the Real Academia Española since 1990, he was the recipient of the Order of Arts and Letters of Spain, the Menéndez Pelayo International Prize (2010) and the Spanish Literature National Prize (2011). He became an inspiration for the anti-austerity movement in Spain.
