5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for AP Spanish Lit Preparation, January 15, 2000

This review is from: Ana Maria Matute (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)

Currently I'm a senior in high school preparing for the AP exams in three subjects, one being Spanish Literature. Ana Maria Matute is a great author to use for the test; the spectrum of her works touched every emotional chord in me. The loss of innoncence, jealousy, the cruelty of society, all coexist in her stories. I highly recommend this book to anyone, high school student or not, who wants to explore the realm of spanish literature. Each of her short stories and Fiesta Al Noroeste, which is my favorite, can be applied to anyone and are a joy to read. Matute is one of the best and I personally put her next to Unamuno and Cervantes.

This set of short stories reveals a lot about the life of Ana Maria Matute. The short stories are captivating that are easy to read and also have a commical side to them! They have adventures and twist and turns that leave you questioning your own self and the choices you have made. My classmates and I read it for our Spanish 5 AP course. She is a brilliant writer.

I have always liked the writings of Ana Maria Matute, and this book does not disappoint. The stories are amusing, some cause one to pause and think, and they all deal with the human condition in a shrewd and insightful way. Salta a los ojos que esta escritora tiene una intelegencia viva y sus observaciones y comentarios sobre la fragilidad humana siempre son muy acertados.
