Este volumen recoge ocho cuentos de un escritor chino contemporáneo. Leemos en el prefacio de Flora Botton Beja: "El amor de Wang Meng por el 'pueblo', por la gente en general, se manifiesta en cada uno de los cuentos. Por ellos desfilan seres humanos verdaderos y el autor los ve con todos sus defectos, sus pequeñeces y sus debilidades, pero nunca sin simpatía y sin comprensión. Precisamente por la naturalidad de los ambientes, las situaciones y las personas que presentan. Wang Meng nos convence de que el mundo que describe es real y es posible de ser entendido, aún para los que vivímos en embientes muy diferentes y que debemos leer su obra en traducciones..."

Spark of Light is a diverse collection of short stories by women writers from the Indian province of Odisha. Originally written in Odia and dating from the late nineteenth century to the present, these stories offer a multiplicity of voices—some sentimental and melodramatic, others rebellious and bold—and capture the predicament of characters who often live on the margins of society. From a spectrum of viewpoints, writing styles, and motifs, the stories included here provide examples of the great richness of Odishan literary culture. In the often shadowy and grim world depicted in this collection, themes of class, poverty, violence, and family are developed. Together they form a critique of social mores and illuminate the difficult lives of the subaltern in Odisha society. The work of these authors contributes to an ongoing dialogue concerning the challenges, hardships, joys, and successes experienced by women around the world. In these provocative explorations of the short-story form, we discover the voices of these rarely heard women.

Hauptbeschreibung Die ersten Novellen, die Prosper Mérimée 1829 in der "Revue de Paris" veröffentlichte, galten in der Kritik schon früh als Geburt einer neuen Gattung, die einen klaren Buch mit den älteren "contes" und "nouvelles" vollzog. Die Literaturgeschichtsschreibung hat aus der umfangreichen Produktion auf dem Gebiet der kürzeren Erzählprosa des ausgehenden 18. und frühen 19. Jahrhunderts nur wenige Texte, vor allem die "contes philosophiques" der Aufklärer, kanonisiert, während die große Masse jener "contes", "nouvelles", "anecdotes", "histoires" etc. dem Ve.
