CUENTOS COMPLETOS (Letras Mexicanas) - Softcover

It is impossible to understand the literary universe of Carlos Fuentes without appreciating its production of short stories; we can find in it the root of the issues that dominated his whole work time, identity, the Mexican, origins, family-but also it represents the more experimental side of the author. Thus, this volume brings together all the stories published by Fuentes in his life since the precocious Pastel rancio ["stale cake"] (El maana, 1949) [Tomorrow, 1949] until the last collection, Carolina Grau (2010).

The author of more than a dozen novels and story collections, Carlos Fuentes (1928-2012) was Mexico's most celebrated novelist and critic. He received numerous honors and awards throughout his lifetime, including the Miguel de Cervantes Prize and the Latin Literary Prize.
