What is Emilia Pardo Bazan: The White Horse And Other Stories about?
This Is A Collection Of Stories By Emilia Pardo Bazan (1851-1921), A Spanish Author Who Often Found The Subject Matter Of Her Stories In The Mysteries And Vicissitudes Of Life. Some Of Her Tales Are Fictional Accounts Of Actual Occurrences Or People (the Pardon, A Galician Mother, And The Lady Bandit); Others Are A Defense Of Women Subjugated By A Double Standard (the Guilty Woman And The Faithful Fiancee); A Number Focus On The Figure Of The Rural Priest (a Descendant Of The Cid And Don Carmelo's Salvation, For Example). One Highly Symbolic Story - The White Horse--qualifies Pardo Bazan As The Godmother Of The Generation Of 98, The Group Of Writers Who Exhorted Spain To Begin Anew, Ridding Itself Of Inertia, Apathy, And Fixation On Past Glories. Several Of The Collected Tales Are Like Contemporary Suspense Thrillers (such As The Cuff Link And The White Hair), While Many Others Reveal A Keen Psychological Insight (the Torn Lace, The Substitute, Scissors, The Nurse, And Rescue). Pardo Bazan's Themes Are Fear, Love, Hatred, Forgiveness, Cruelty, Poverty, Necrophilia, Repentance, Homesickness, And Madness - That Is, Naked Reality, Bitter Reality, And Often An Ugly, Vicious Reality.
