About the Book

Sergio Ramírez, ganador del Premio Cervantes 2017 y del Premio Alfaguara 1998, se asoma a los misterios del alma humana en doce sorprendentes relatos.

«El primer cuentista vivo en el continente latinoamericano, y uno de los mejores en español, heredero de las armas de Cortázar y Monterroso. [...] Por cada cuento un mundo.» --Javier Sancho Más, Babelia

El juez y su Conciencia, la sin par Mireya y el tragafuegos Luzbel, el Duende que Camina hacia el trono de la calavera, el petimetre y el diablo, el último combate del minimosca Gavilán, la suerte del exguerrillero Trinidad, alias «el Comandante» ...

En Flores oscuras, cada personaje batalla contra sus propios conflictos y esconde sus propios secretos. A medio camino entre la crónica periodística y el cuento, Sergio Ramírez se asoma a los misterios del alma humana en doce sorprendentes relatos llenos de colores vivos y negras sombras.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"The best living storyteller in Latin America, and one of the best in Spanish, heir to Cortázar and Monterroso... Each story is a new world." --Javier Sancho Más, Babelia

In The Darkness in Flowers, each character battles his or her own conflicts and hides secrets. Halfway between a news chronicle and a story, Sergio Ramírez takes a look at the human soul in twelve surprising stories full of bright colors and black shadows.
