From the whimsical idealism of Miguel de Cervantes "Don Quixote" to the magical realism of Gabriel Garca Mrquezs "100 Years of Solitude," Spanish-language literature has substantially enriched the global literary canon. This volume examines the vibrant prose and dynamic range of both Spanish and Latin American authors, whose narratives are informed as much by their imaginations as the turbulent histories of these native lands. Influenced by a plethora of diverse cultures, these tales truly tell a global story.
