An outstanding collection of snippets, ever-literary and uniquely blissfully Mexican. These stories are timeless. And it is precisely that quality, that of timelessness, which best describes the setting which pervades throughout these incendiary vignettes. The best are short enough to be parables--"We're...

| Author | Ángel de Saavedra (Duque de Rivas) |
El estreno en 1835 de Don Álvaro o la fuerza del sino supuso el triunfo definitivo del Romanticismo en el teatro español y el alejamiento de las estrechas normas neoclásicas.
