Rooted in the medieval ballad tradition and recounted to the author by a Spanish goatherd, The Three-Cornered Hat relates a madcap series of romantic misadventures. The basis of Manuel de Falla's popular ballet of the same name, it appears here with Captain Poison, a witty "taming-of-the-shrew" tale. Original Spanish with English translation.

Fernan Caballero's "Juan Holgado y la muerte/Juan Holgado and Death," Antonio de Trueba's "Tragaldabas/Glutton," and Pedro Antonio de Alarcon's "El amigo de la muerte/Death's Friend" all have as their subject a desperate man who makes a pact with Death to achieve his ends. Written by three of the country's best-known short story writers, these three Death-and-the-Doctor tales fill a lacuna in the Godfather Death motif of Western European literature and highlight the universality of Spain's folk tradition. Each tale is printed in both English and Spanish.

El sombrero de tres picos (Clásicos castellanos) (Spanish Edition)

Obra que une el tema religioso a la crítica social. Pedro Antonio de Alarcón es ante todo un habilísimo narrador: sabe cómo nadie interesar con una historia; en sus libros la acción nunca decae y, aunque el cronotopo o marco espaciotemporal de sus novelas suele ser de estilo realista, sus personajes son en el fondo románticos; en el curso de su producción novelística se va convirtiendo en un moralista

It is not my purpose in the present place to enlarge on Bonilla's article, though I suspect that the theme in its cruder forms is considerably older than Boccaccio; he has given us all that served as the first-hand sources of our story, and more, and he seems to me beyond any doubt to be in the right in holding that the differences to be noted between these sources and the novel are Alarcón's own, not the product of some other model, to him (Bonilla) unknown. To my mind this conclusion [p. xiv] should be more strongly put. In his preface Alarcón tells us where he found the story, and makes direct reference to the Durán Romancero; had he had another, more strictly decorous, version at hand, one in short better suited to his need, he had surely mentioned it. Bonilla seems to me to take far too seriously the clos
