«Mentre le donne dormono» is a collection of short stories by Javier Marías, published by Einaudi in paperback (193 pages, in Italian).
A ghost from the 1930s more frightened than its victims, a Napoleonic captain in the Russian campaign, a butler trapped in an elevator, and a man contemplating a woman of unreal beauty populate these stories written over thirty years, in which tension and depth are concentrated in few pages.
Italian edition of «Mientras ellas duermen», a work originally published in 1990. Translated by Valerio Nardoni, in the L'Arcipelago Einaudi collection.
For readers of Italian interested in the contemporary short story and in Javier Marías's brief narrative, with stories of unsettling atmosphere.
