Summary: Good storytelling
Comment: They may not be fashionable nowadays, but the short stories of Leopoldo Alas aka Clarín, are well worth being read. He tells simple but extremely humane stories of Northern Spain, mostly set in the countryside or in small villages. His style is direct, realistic, and it combines tenderness with subtle irony. The most famous, "Goodbye, Cordera" tells the sad story of two kids whose beloved cow is sent to the slaughterhouse. Good for a slow evening at home, you'll be worthily entertained and get a glimpse of life in rural Northern Spain a hundred years ago.
