The short story collection "The Exile's Dream" brings together twenty-five of the most representative short stories of the famous contemporary Argentinian writer Mambo Giardine, presenting the writer's colorful literary world in an all-round and multi-angle manner. Twenty-five stories in various styles are smooth, humorous, profound and powerful, leaving readers no chance to breathe. After years of exile, Giardinelli's heart is still soft and strong, turning the pain of life into soothing words. In these stories, people who have been in exile for many years return to their homeland in their dreams, like an exhausted but glorious warrior, accepting the welcome of family and friends; as time passes quietly, childhood memories become clearer and more detailed, like a small crack on the mirror, becoming a mysterious and meaningful existence. The brutal military dictators and their accomplices cannot escape the punishment of fate after all, and what awaits them may be a very dramatic punishment. In some short stories, we will also see that Giardinelli pays tribute to the fading Latin American literary masters in his own unique way, allowing us to relive the glorious past of the Latin American literary world.
