Summary:

The solitude of women is one of the great subjects of universal
Literature. All women either with impossible or tragically lost loves
face solitude at some time in their lives. This anthology presents
unforgettable stories that portray a psychological state and a
peculiar way of life to which women end up getting used to. This
anthology contains stories by Flaubert, O'Connor, Chejov, Cheever,
Maupassant, Clarice Lispector, Oscar Wilde and Carlos Fuentes among
others. Description in Spanish: Uno de los méritos principales de
este excelente libro de cuentos es que nos encamina hacia un
encuentro amoroso y solidario con diferentes tipos de mujeres que nos
regalan aquello que sólo la literatura hace posible: traspasar los
límites de nuestra propia vida para penetrar en una ajena, la de
cualquiera de ellas, perdiendo por instantes la rigidez a la que nos
reduce nuestra cotidianidad, irremediablemente pequeña y limitada. No
depende de nuestra voluntad controlar el fenómeno de identificación
que nos posee: toda mujer reconoce en la otra, aunque sea con temor,
una probabilidad de sí misma.
