Synopsis

One by one, each short story leaves a deep impression in the reader’s memory and sensibility. In "Silla", an insect eats away Salazar’s chair until he falls from his dictatorship. "Embargo" tells the tale of a man worried for his automobile, when all gasoline is disappearing and death hovers over both. In "Reflujo", one cemetery is absorbing all the other ones. In "Cosas", the author imagines a city under a dictatorship. A fantastic being, half man and half horse, has been hiding for centuries in the shadow of "Centauro". Plus, "Desquite" is a parable in which a boy dives into a river knowing that on the other side awaits a naked girl. Description in Spanish: Saramago nos ofrece en este libro una colección de cuentos. En «Silla», una carcoma va royendo el asiento de Salazar hasta que cae la dictadura. «Embargo» nos cuenta la ocupación de un hombre por su automóvil, mientras la gasolina se acaba y la muerte se cierne sobre ambos. En «Reflujo», un único cementerio va absorbiendo todos los demás. En «Cosas» el autor imagina una ciudad sometida a una dictadura absoluta. Un último ser fantástico, mitad hombre y mitad caballo, se esconde en las sombras de «Centauro». Y en «Desquite» un muchacho se lanza a un río sabiendo que en la otra orilla lo espera una chica desnuda.
