Emilia Pardo Bazán

"A bold heir to Goya, Pardo Bazán exposes cruelty and injustice while celebrating popular custom in these fierce, often tender stories. Blending feminist critique with imaginative portrayals of Gospel figures, this selection spans the career of one of Spain's bravest and most uncompromising literary voices."

"This landmark collection, impeccably curated and sensitively translated, introduces Pardo Bazán and her fiction to a wider audience and makes the Spanish fin-de-siècle come alive. This new edition is a treasure for both specialists and general readers."

"This selection contains some of Emilia Pardo Bazán's finest short stories. Spain's foremost nineteenth-century woman writer was a feminist, but also a Catholic and political conservative who was ambivalent about questions of social class. These tensions transpire in her skillfully written and often humorous stories that provide us with astute insights into the lives of the men and women in the Spain of her lifetime."

“'The White Horse' and Other Stories is an engrossing collection of the short fiction of Emilia Pardo Bazán. These stories draw you in with their vivid characters, unexpected turns, and unflinching portrayals of human complexity and social injustice. Robert M. Fedorchek provides highly readable translations that preserve the depth and nuance of the original Spanish. This volume is an engaging and accessible introduction to this major European author.”
