«Mar al fondo» is a collection of short stories by José Luis Sampedro, published by Debolsillo in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
The stories range across different seas of the planet, from the South Seas to the Arctic Ocean, passing through the Aegean, the Baltic and the Mediterranean. Sampedro gives each sea its own soul and turns it into a setting for deep human emotions, with a passionate language in which the desire to merge with the ocean throbs.
It belongs to the Contemporánea collection (no. 175) and to the Biblioteca José Luis Sampedro (no. 7). The work was originally published in 1996; this edition is from 2004.
For readers of short stories and of literature with the sea as protagonist, and for those who want to discover the short fiction of José Luis Sampedro.
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.
