The future of my past

Mario Benedetti

SHORT STORIES. ALFAGURA, 2003. 200 PAGES.

In the pages of this book restless ghosts inhabit, revolvers are fired and dreams dream. Within the ink of his letters hide the fantasy, the desire and the pain of characters that oscillate between light and shadow, like a trembling candle. In his words one can taste, bittersweet, the sad irony of existence.

The plot of El porvenir de mi pasado is none other than life; that of the child who discovers he is a man, that of the old man who dreams of dancing again, that of the lover who returns to settle old yearnings. An exquisite compendium of stories and poems, masterfully written for readers of all ages.

Mario Benedetti, a fighter in the causes of literature and freedom, returns to dazzle all his acolytes around the world with stories that illuminate feelings without intermediaries.
