Great anthology, I bought the physical book past year and it’s amazing the amount of authors and the variety of stories contained in one single volume.

I have this anthology in digital too, If someone wants to read quality hispano-American literature, please take a look to this amazing anthology.

Allow me to share 6 great anthologies of short stories and mini and micro fiction, just because.

1. El Cuento Hispanoamericano (The Hispano-American Tale), more than 40 authors, an astounding variety of stories and themes.

2. La Mano de la Hormiga (The Hand of the Ant), another wonderful anthology but this time of micro and mini fiction.

3. Antología de la Literatura Fantástica (The Book of Fantasy), the legendary anthology of Borges, Ocampo y Casares, this anthology doesn’t need presentation, it’s a must.

4. El Libro de la Imaginación (The Book of Imagination) by Edmundo Valadés, good author, amazing anthology of mini and micro fiction, poetry, aphorisms, epigrams, fragments of novels that works as short stories, folktales, etc. More than 400 texts of quality and sorted by themes. My favorite book of the list, comfy reading.

5. El Libro de los Seres Imaginarios (The Book of Imaginary Beings), another classic, What if Borges makes his own bestiary?

6. Antología Universal del Relato Fantástico (Universal Anthology of the Fantastic Tale), More than 50 short stories of well known and unknown authors of several countries. An outstanding work, Jacobo Siruela have great literary taste.

And here’s the link to download all the anthologies mentioned in one RAR, Stay at home, anons! And have fun reading!

What other anthologies do you recommend?

Hi, onions nuevos, let me tell you the story of my life, in the best prose one can think of:

Notice billet, if you do not believe or read it because you'll waste time, I take anonymity to tell my story.

I'm going to explain everything from the anonymity of how I got here for me should be my home.

I am 24 unfortunately still live with my parents and I'm studying. A March 14, 2013 I woke up after sleeping about 14 hours in a festive day, I usually sleep little and my parents were out so relaxed.

When I woke up and the first on the forehead ... the lamp of my room was different, I thought that my parents or I changed that ... the second on the forehead missing clothes closet and had others I did not recognize. .. I to this during the first hour of the day gave no importance.

I Wander all day on the couch sofa certainly had a new cover, I thought my mother had bought. Location encants is a district of Barcelona and had been at night with a colleague and this is where I came into the world already down and began the ordeal.

From encants walked to a street called Marina and directs the Olympic port city. To get there you have to go through the Sagrada Familia La Sagrada Familia ... where I am is different HAS 3 FACHADAS, 2 facades, also has higher towers, I had not previously interested in architecture but looking at the Internet projects just where I am the holy family was more advanced, for example mallorca street is divided not here.

These are small details or some huge, it's like an almost equal place I come from but with some differences BY LUCK not affect my life in this present, I'm studies where had before, and I have the same classmates, ie, my people are the same, but not all.

For example I have new neighbors, new friends or in class, but always people who were not in my life.


During these two years the internet I discovered amazing things, I really choco some historical facts, I can answer questions, but where I am for example another important change is that the famous September 11 happened the same but in my world we had a tower in walk because they only attempted a avio, I choco much see the current project because of where I am not been built skyscrapers to extol the twin tower is a historical symbol, I speak on this because I can not believe I'm not .. .


Obviously these things I have spoken to my parents obviously wanted me to take a psychiatrist but conceals enough and I've been a fucking year, but I'm fine, I keep my life, I realize how lucky I am to be alive and that some subtle changes Luckily not affect me directly.

PS: Now after 2 years and many blunders can say I AM HAPPY.
