Este libro reúne todos los cuentos de una de las escritoras más importantes de la literatura española del siglo XX, un género que cultivó desde el inicio hasta el final de su vida, y que le sirvió para explorar la extrañeza y el inconformismo ante lo cotidiano. Todos los cuentos de Carmen MartÃn Gaite, desde su primera juventud hasta los últimos años de su vida. Todos los cuentos de una de las escritoras más importantes de la literatura española del siglo XX. «El cuento fue un género decisivo en la formación de la escritora salmantina, y lo cultivó, con mayor o menor intermitencia, a lo largo de toda su singladura. El hilo de continuidad de su narrativa breve fue la extrañeza ante lo cotidiano. El cuento respondió a su amor por todo lo inaprensible, por atender a un trozo de vida irrelevante y por explorarlo demoradamente [...] Fue sin duda un formato propicio por su brevedad para recoger, a través de la técnica del apunte impresionista, el tono menor de la existencia, ese material minúsculo, fragmentario y en continua mudanza al que cuadran mal las nociones de principio y final . --José Teruel ENGLISH DESCRIPTION This book contains every short story by one of the most important writers in twentieth-century Spanish literature, a genre she cultivated all her life, from beginning to end, and which allowed her to explore the peculiarity and inconformity in the face of the ordinary. Carmen MartÃn Gaite's short stories, from her first youth to the last years of her life. Every story by one of the most important writers in twentieth century Spanish literature. Short fiction was a decisive genre in the training of this writer from Salamanca, and she cultivated it, with greater or lesser intermittency, throughout her entire voyage. The thread of continuity in her short stories was the strangeness of the ordinary. Storytelling answered her love for everything elusive, for addressing a part of life that is irrelevant, and for slowly exploring it... It was without a doubt a favorable format, because of it's briefness, to retrieve, through a technique of impressionist notes, the minor tone of existence, that minuscule material, fragmentary and in continuous move, to which the notions of beginning and end suits poorly. --José Teruel
