Death and other surprises

Mario Benedetti

SHORT STORIES. PLANETA, 2022 (NEW EDITION), 192 PAGES

In the city, men and women love and hate each other; they die, survive, deteriorate and are reborn; they smile, cry; they get lost and return through paths often traveled, or discover new paths illuminated by a radiant sun.
Loneliness, the difficulties of communication, the awareness of death, joy or the passing of time are some of the themes included in these nineteen stories that portray surprising atmospheres of everyday life.
Few writers are capable of confronting the reader with life and death in such a delicate, human and at the same time brutal way. Mario Benedetti, one of the great geniuses of Latin American literature, plunges us into the immense ocean of existence, showing through his gaze the most intimate part of a cruel but always hopeful reality.
