«Tres vidas de santos» is a short-story collection by Eduardo Mendoza, published by Booket in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
«Tres vidas de santos» brings together three stories: «La ballena», close to his Barcelona chronicles; «El final de Dubslav», set in Africa; and «El malentendido», about literary creation and social differences. The characters may seem like saints: not martyrs or hermits, ready to give up everything for an idea, with irony and tenderness.
The book belongs to the Biblioteca Eduardo Mendoza collection. «Tres vidas de santos» was originally published in 2009; this edition is from 2012.
Recommended for readers of short fiction and contemporary Spanish literature who appreciate humor and reflection.
Eduardo Mendoza Garriga is a Spanish novelist, playwright, and essayist. His first novel, La Verdad sobre el Caso Savolta, published in 1975, reflected the social changes as Spain transitioned to democracy, and was very successful. His 1986 novel, La Ciudad de los Prodigios, is widely acclaimed, and he is also known for his "mad detective" parody novels, in particular El Laberinto de las Aceitunas.
