[Abraham · Rating 4 out of 5]

Easy to get into because of the structure and breakdown. The way it is organized in three sections is also nice. Language is very advanced and refreshing to read. Enjoyed the writings that one can easily knock out pretty quickly.

beautifully written short stories by the masters of Spanish literature— Quiroga’s works were my favorite.
