All were written in the second half of the nineteenth\r\ncentury or in the first decade of the twentieth,except the story by\r\nLarra, which was written about seventy-five years ago. And all describe\r\nrecent conditions,except the tale, partly historical and partly\r\nlegendary, by Bcquer, which goes back to the invasion of Spain by the\r\nFrench under Napoleon in the early years of the nineteenth century; the\r\nstory by Larra, which, however, is nearly as true of Castile to-day as\r\nit was when written; and Trueba's story, which is partly legendary,\r\npartly symbolic, and partly realistic. The stories by Bcquer and Prez\r\nGalds contain incidents that are supernatural, and those by Fernn\r\nCaballero and Alarcn have romantic settings that are highly improbable;\r\nbut all the stories are, in the main, true to the every-day life of\r\ncontemporary Spain.\nThe Spanish stories in this collection have been arranged, so far as\r\npossible, in the order of difficulty; but some instructors will\r\ndoubtless prefer to read them in chronological order, or, better still,\r\nin an order determined by the \"school\", or literary affiliations, of\r\neach author. This latter arrangement is difficult to make, and it must\r\nbe, at the best, somewhat arbitrary. But to those who wish to study in\r\nthese stories the growth of contemporary Spanish fiction, it is\r\nsuggested that the authors be taken up in the order in which they are\r\ngiven in the Introduction.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 33406 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Hills, E.
