Los cuentos de Ignacio Aldecoa reunidos en un solo volumen.



\u00abIgnacio era un narrador de raza. Para \u00e9l, contar historias era una manera de vivir. Contarlas del modo m\u00e1s eficaz y con el lenguaje m\u00e1s bello y expresivo, la meta a la que le conduc\u00edan su talento, su esfuerzo y su voluntad apasionada de perfecci\u00f3n.



Ignacio admiraba profundamente a Stevenson. Y sol\u00eda contar c\u00f3mo los ind\u00edgenas de la isla de Samoa hab\u00edan grabado un hermoso epitafio en la tumba del escritor: -Aqu\u00ed yace Tusitala, el narrador de historias.. Luego, Ignacio se quedaba pensativo un instante y a\u00f1ad\u00eda: -As\u00ed es como me gustar\u00eda que me recordaran: Ignacio Aldecoa, el narrador de historias-.



Y sonre\u00eda. Porque Ignacio ten\u00eda una forma risue\u00f1a de decir las cosas en las que cre\u00eda seriamente. Detestaba la solemnidad, rechazaba la pedanter\u00eda y le gustaba pasar levemente sobre los asuntos graves: la brevedad de la existencia, la inaceptable injusticia de nacer para morir, la muerte misma.\u00bb.-Josefina R. Aldecoa

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION<\/p>

Ignacio Aldecoa's complete short stories compiled together in one volume.<\/p>

\"Ignacio was an innate narrator. For him, telling stories was a way of life; he loved to tell them with the most beautiful and meaningful language. That was his goal, that was what his effort and his passionate will for perfection aimed for.<\/p>

Ignacio deeply admired Stevenson. He used to remember how the natives of the island of Samoa had inscribed a beautiful epitaph on the writer's grave: \"Here lies Tusitala, the storyteller\". Then, Ignacio would think for a moment and add: \"This is how I would like to be remembered: Ignacio Aldecoa, the storyteller\".<\/p>

He would smile, because Ignacio had a funny way of saying the things he seriously believed in. He loathed somberness, rejected smugness, and liked to take on serious matters in a light-hearted way, things like: the brevity of our existence, the unacceptable injustice of being born only to die, and death itself.\" - Josefina R. Aldecoa
