Antonio de Trueba Produced by Pedro Saborano (produced from scanned images of public domain material from Google Book Search) "Contos escolhidos de D. Antonio de Trueba" by Antonio de Trueba is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The work captures the essence of Spanish culture and traditions through the lens of storytelling, reflecting on themes of nostalgia, family, and the contrasts between rural and urban life. Trueba's narratives resonate particularly with the trials and tribulations of characters who navigate the complexities of society. The opening of this collection introduces the character of Angelo, a young boy sent from his tranquil rural life in Biscay to the bustling city of Madrid. With a heavy heart, Angelo grapples with homesickness and the harsh realities of his new environment, where he faces ridicule and mistreatment from those around him. The text poignantly highlights his longing for the familiar comforts of home, as he contrasts his idyllic memories of the countryside with the coldness of city life. Trueba's storytelling captures the innocence of childhood and the pain of separation, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of human emotions and societal commentary throughout the rest of the collection.
