Translated from the English by Pilar Vázquez. After a difficult childhood, chronicled in 'This Boy's Life', Wolff has become a university professor and noted American writer. In addition to 'This Boy's Life', which won the prestigious Los Angeles Times literary award, Wolff has published the short story collections, 'In the Garden of North American Martyrs', 'Back to the World', 'The Night in Question' and 'Our Story Begins', the short novel 'The Barracks Thief' which won the PEN / Faulkner award, and the novels 'In Pharaoh's Army' and 'Old School'. Tobias Wolff works are already considered modern classics of American literature, and his name has appeared in almost every anthology of short stories than have been published in the US in recent years. This book is a collection of fifteen stories. Each one reveals the main characters in the extreme circumstances of their daily life and the each describes how these lives have been affected by the consequences of each person's decisions. Notably, the stories expose the intimate relationship between what people want to be and what they actually are, the impression that each person wants to project and the reality of how they are actually seen. These stories are marked by Tobias Wolff's deep understanding of the human condition as well as his humor. Traducción de Pilar Vázquez. Tobias Wolff nació en Alabama en Alabama en 1945. Tras una infancia difícil, relatada en 'Vida de este chico' (Alfaguara, 1991), y un prolongado periodo de aprendizaje, ahora es profesor de la Universidad de Siracusa (Nueva York), localidad en la que vive con su mujer y sus tres hijos. Además de 'Vida de este chico', por la que obtuvo el muy prestigioso premio literario que otorga Los Angeles Times, ha publicado cuatro recopilaciones de relatos, 'In the Garden of North American Martyrs', 'De regreso al mundo' (Alfaguara, 1988), 'Cazadores en la nieve (Alfagura, 1989) y 'La noche en cuestión' (Alfaguara, 2000), un novela breve, 'Ladrón de cuarteles' (Alfaguara, 1990), por la que obtuvo el Premio PEN/Faulkner, y la novela 'En el ejército de faraón' (Alfaguara, 1997). Tobias Wolff está ya incluido entre los clásicos modernos de la literatura norteamericana, y su nombre figura en casi todas las antologías de relatos cortos que se han publicado en Estados Unidos durante los últimos años. Todas las emociones en quince cuentos magistrales. Un hombre cae muerto de un disparo en la cola del banco, otro es despedido por publicar una falsa necrológica, una joven visita a su padre en la casa de salud en la que se recupera de una depresión. Ya sea en la infancia, en la guerra de Vietnam, en el recuerdo o en el presente eterno, los personajes son mostrados en circunstancias extremas de su vida cotidiana y dependientes de las consecuencias de sus decisiones. La autenticidad, la integridad íntima, la correspondencia entre lo que se desea ser y lo que se es, y entre la imagen que queremos proyectar y la que realmente transmitimos, componen estos relatos, marcados por la comprensión y el humor de Tobias Wolff. 5.1"x8.5", 297 pages.
