«Pruebas y tres parábolas» is George Steiner's short story collection, published by Destino in paperback (168 pages, in Spanish).
The book brings together a series of narratives that address the fragility of ideologies, the shadows of family life and the religious question; far from imposing a thesis, the parables invite readers to examine ethical positions and to ask themselves personal questions about faith and identity.
«Pruebas y tres parábolas» belongs to Destino's Áncora y Delfín collection (no. 709). The work was originally published in English as Proofs in 1992 and won the PEN/Macmillan Silver Pen Award.
A work suited to readers of philosophy and short fiction interested in ethical reflection.
Francis George Steiner, FBA was a French and American literary critic, essayist, philosopher, novelist and educator.

A 2001 article in The Guardian described Steiner as a "polyglot and polymath".
