El Encaje Roto Y Otros Cuento (Texts & Translations) (Mla Texts & Translations Series) (Spanish Edition)

A young man tries to uncover the true reason a scheming woman married his uncle. An unwed pregnant woman finds unexpected help from a misogynist doctor. And in the title story, a bride suddenly calls off her wedding at the last possible moment without an explanation.

Noted for narrative complexity, stylistic variety, and feminist themes, Pardo Bazan's stories, written a century ago, explore many aspects of the relationships between men and women.
