Description: This important collection is comprised of stories by more than thirty Latin American women authors whose stories both express the very essence of the human condition and travel beyond into the realm many scholars term "magical realism." The book is compiled by world expert Celia Correas de Zapata, who had each of the stories newly cast into English by such renowned translators as Gregory Rabassa and Margaret Sayers Peden. With a Foreword by acclaimed author Isabel Allende and a contributor list that includes Dora Alonso, Rosario Ferre, Elena Poniatowska, Luisa Valenzuela, and Ana Lydia Vega, this array of short stories is absolutely unique and a necessary addition to bookshelves at home and school alike.
