"Stories by Foreign Authors: Spanish" is a collection of short stories featuring works by Pedro Antonio De Alarcon, Gustavo Adolfo Becquer, Jose Selgas, and Fernan Caballero, likely crafted in the late 19th century. This anthology showcases a variety of narratives, including tales of supernatural events, love, and the complexities of human emotions, as hinted by the stories' intriguing titles and the rich descriptions in the opening lines. The opening of the anthology focuses on "The Tall Woman" by Pedro Antonio De Alarcon, introducing Gabriel, a civil engineer who recounts a mysterious and unsettling experience involving a tall, menacing woman. Set during a summer outing with friends in the Guadarrama mountains, Gabriel shares a chilling tale about his friend Telesforo, who suffered from an irrational fear of women encountered alone at night. As the narrative unfolds, Telesforo's harrowing encounters with a spectral woman lead him down a path of dread and grim predictions, pointing toward a supernatural connection that foreshadows tragedy. This blend of realism and supernatural elements sets the tone for the stories to follow, drawing readers into the narrative with suspense and curiosity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
Reading ease score: 74.8 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.
