About the Book

Una nutrida selección de los mejores cuentos de Camilo José Cela, en un arco que abarca toda su carrera.

La bien ganada fortuna que, muy tempranamente, alcanzó Cela como novelista eclipsó su faceta como escritor de relatos, un arte que sin embargo nunca dejó de cultivar.

Más de una vez declaró su devoción por este género, del que decía que viene a ser «algo así como la piedra de toque del escritor en prosa». Otra cosa es que no siempre resulte fácil deslindar, dentro del amplísimo caudal de las piezas breves de Cela, cuáles admiten ser consideradas cuentos con propiedad.

Este volumen ofrece una amplia y representativa selección de los textos que mejor se adecuan a esta etiqueta, así como de los que él mismo bautizó como «apuntes carpetovetónicos». Todos sumados conforman una abigarrada y portentosa galería de personajes, que Cela dibuja con su característica mezcla de humor, barbarie y piedad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A large selection of the best stories by Camilo José Cela, covering his entire career.

Cela's famous novels outshined his short stories, which he never stopped writing.

He repeatedly declared his devotion to this literary genre, which he claimed was "something like the prose writer's touchstone." However, it is not always easy to define, within the vast array of Cela's brief pieces, which ones can be properly considered short stories.

This volume offers a wide selection of the texts that best fit this label, including those that he himself baptized as "carpetovetonic notes." All of them make up a portentous gallery of characters, which Cela builds with his characteristic blend of humor, savagery, and piety.
About the Author: Camilo José Cela Trulock (Iria Flavia, A Coruña, 11 de mayo de 1916 - Madrid, 17 de enero de 2002), escritor y académico español, es uno de los autores imprescindibles en el canon de la literatura en lengua española. En 1925 se trasladó a Madrid con su familia y en 1934 comenzó estudios de Medicina en la Universidad Complutense que pronto abandonó para asistir como oyente a las clases de Literatura Contemporánea de Pedro Salinas. Es Salinas, a quien Cela enseña sus primeros poemas, una figura clave para el asiento de su vocación literaria. En 1940, Cela intenta una nueva carrera, esta vez Derecho -que también acabará abandonando--, mientras escribe su primera gran obra, La familia de Pascual Duarte (1942), cuya segunda edición tuvo que ser publicada en Buenos Aires al prohibirla la censura. A esta primera novela siguieron, poco después, Viaje a La Alcarria (1948) y La colmena (1951), publicada en Buenos Aires e inmediatamente prohibida en España. En 1954 se traslada a Mallorca y poco después, en 1957, es nombrado académico de la lengua. Su obra, extensa y variada, se publica con asiduidad desde entonces. Entre ella, además de los títulos ya mencionados, cabe destacar El gallego y su cuadrilla (1949), Del Miño al Bidasoa (1952), San Camilo, 1936 (1969), Mazurca para dos muertos (1983, Premio Nacional de Narrativa) o Cristo versus Arizona (1988). A ellas habría que añadir su labor como articulista para distintos diarios. Entre los premios que atesoró a lo largo de su vida es obligado citar el Príncipe de Asturias de las Letras (1987), el Nobel de Literatura (1989) y el Miguel de Cervantes (1995).
