Tales from the Edge (sepúlveda Works Series)

About This Novel
This book contains thirty-four short stories by Luis Sepulveda. These stories are about men and women who have never ceased to struggle, including Amazonian Indians, Jewish poets, Genoese across the Pampas, from Patagonia to Norway, from Argentina to Russia, from the Nazi concentration camps to the prisons of Pinochet, from the borders of Lapunia to the islands of the Adriatic Sea. He talked about the Chilean writer Francisco Coloane; the Jewish poet Avrom Suzkevel, whose name and fate are full of uncertainty; the pirate Simon von Utrecht who occupied Elba until 1400; the Ecuadorian trade union activist Vidal Sánchez who was committed to promoting cooperatives; the Italian quarrymen whose life and beauty are thousands of miles apart... They are hopelessly locked with tragedy. It seems that endless stories have one thing in common: the belief that behind an ordinary person, there is always a great deed worth writing.
