Synopsis

An anthology of the eternal sadness that we experience in love and life. Starting from the idea that a good story should always be a sad story because life itself is sad, and a good story should resemble life, Barbara Jacobs and Augusto Monterroso took the challenge of selecting and compiling the best examples of this sort of narrative, guided by the requirement of sadness and unquestionable literary quality. In this anthology you will find works by: Gustave Flaubert; James Joyce; Juan Rulfo; William Faulkner; Augusto Monterroso; Juan Carlos Onetti; Saul Bellow; Thomas Mann and Anton Chejov, among many others.
