Many of the stories have not previously appeared in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is the tender story of a boy who recognizes evil for the first time and decides to ignore it; the tale of a writer struggling between the demands of creativity and of fame; common people dealing with changes brought about by revolution and exile; a romp with a famous, dangerous woman in the Metropolitan Museum; an outrageous fantasy that picks up where Garcia Lorca's famous play \u003ci\u003eThe House of Bernardo Alba\u003c\/i\u003e ends.
