«Mondo et autres histoires» is the short story collection by Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio, published by Gallimard in paperback (310 pages, in French).
The volume brings together stories in which childhood and solitude become a way of looking at the world.

The poetic prose moves between the urban and the natural and explores identity and beauty.
