ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Ignacio Aldecoa's complete short stories compiled together in one volume.
Ignacio was an innate narrator. For him, telling stories was a way of life; he loved to tell them with the most beautiful and meaningful language. That was his goal, that was what his effort and his passionate will for perfection aimed for.
Ignacio deeply admired Stevenson. He used to remember how the natives of the island of Samoa had inscribed a beautiful epitaph on the writer's grave: Here lies Tusitala, the storyteller. Then, Ignacio would think for a moment and add: This is how I would like to be remembered: Ignacio Aldecoa, the storyteller.
He would smile, because Ignacio had a funny way of saying the things he seriously believed in. He loathed somberness, rejected smugness, and liked to take on serious matters in a light-hearted way, things like: the brevity of our existence, the unacceptable injustice of being born only to die, and death itself. - Josefina R. Aldecoa
