Customer Reviews

great stories but too expensive

This book contains great short stories for anyone with an interest in latin american literature. I bought this book for a college lit class in the univ bookstore and it cost almost as much used as it is here new. Throughout the course, after researching, I found many of the stories, which are quite short, you can find online. The one great thing about this book though is it has an excellent glossary. It is a plethora of Spanish vocabulary that you won't find in a regular dictionary because some of the words might be indigenous to a certain region or area. It also has footnotes for regional idiomatic phrases that you might have trouble translating with a regular sp/en dictionary. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is for the cost.

Me encanta los cuentos, pero la coleccion cuesta un huevo

No merece la pena comprarte lo. Lo que contiene te vas a encantar - pero sale mas barato comprar los cuentos como parte de otra antologia, o de una coleccion del autor (el alef, Borges; el llano en lantos, juan-rulfo, etc) 40 dolares es mucho para un libro tan chico
