Cuentos Alegres (classic Reprint)

Sinopsis del libro

Excerpt from Cuentos Alegres Not only was Taboada praised by writers of such standing, but he was a prophet honored in his own country. In August 904, his native town named a street after him and gave a banquet in his honor. Upon this occasion he made a speech in which he had something to say about his purpose as a humorist, and his words remind one of what a F lorentine novelist, the famous Sacchetti, wrote in the introduction to his collection of stories some five hundred years ago. En los periodicos el articulo de fondo, en las tristes horas por que atraviesa la patria, no puede menos de narrar desdichas y recordar desventuras casi a diario. La mision que mis aficiones por una parte y la benevolencia del publico por otra, me han impuesto, no es mas que llevar una especie de lenitivo al animo del lector, haciendole ver que en la vida y aun en sus horas mas amargas, si hay mucho tema para hacer llorar, no faltan tampoco los que hagan prorrumpir su franca y sana carcajada. This was not the only time that Taboada disclaimed any intention of posing as a shrewd observer or teacher. In the preface to the Madrid en Broma, he says that all he does is to seek material wherever he can find it. If his glance falls upon a ridiculous scene he copies it, if he hears an absurd remark he publishes it but he has no ulterior purpose, no desire to bring into salient relief the vices of society, no wish to guide man along the path of virtue.
