Cargando... Cuentos del Pobre Diablo (Mirasol, Libros Juveniles) (Spanish Edition)por Natalie Babbitt
![]() Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. ![]() ![]() This book of thought-provoking stories, published in 1974, is a gem. Each pithy tale of the Devil, slightly portly and a little bored in Hell, tells of his forays into the World, seeking diversion and perhaps a new recruit to join him. These tales vary in length, employ simple, sturdy language, but all are dense with meaning, examining human foibles with sympathy, humor, and/or surprise. They merit re-reading and discussion. This is a slim volume of great richness, accessible to all readers. Highly recommended. Entertaining, light read. Each of the ten stories revolve around the Devil himself in some way or other. Contents... Wishes The Very Pretty Lady The Harps of Heaven The Imp in the Basket* Nuts A Palindrome*** Ashes Perfection** The Rose and the Minor Demon The Power of Speech *This was my favorite story of the bunch. I loved the ambiguity of it all. **A close second for favorite story. The ending clinched it as a standout ***This one sticks with me as well. Even when the Devil doesn't get his way, we can still lose. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
