Synopsis "Cuentos Humorísticos (in Spanish)"

In these bold sketches of American life, Mark Twain animates a wacky cast of characters with his usual energy and colorful descriptions. Each story is driven by the inertia and entropy of its oddball subjects and their insistence on viewing the world in the way they choose, sometimes failing to see what is right in front of them. Some are poor wretches, such as Colonels Jack and Jim, who cannot tell the difference between a car and a bus, while others are on the verge of a nervous breakdown, such as Mrs. McWilliams, who in the middle of a storm proposes numerous outlandish ways to stay protected against lightning. Together these stories are an important part of Mark Twain’s body of work, painting a vivid picture of small-town life at the turn of the century. En estos audaces retratos de la vida americana, Mark Twain anima un reparto de personajes chiflados con descripciones originales y su energía usual. Cada cuento está conducido por la inercia y entropía de sus sujetos excéntricos y la insistencia de éstos en ver el mundo a su manera, a veces sin reconocer hasta lo que tienen en frente. Algunos son pobres diablos, como los coroneles Jack y Jim, que no alcanzan a ver la diferencia entre un coche y un ómnibus, mientras otros están al borde del ataque de nervios, como la señora McWilliams, que en el medio de una tormenta propone varias maneras extravagantes de protegerse del relámpago. En conjunto, estas historias son una parte importante de la obra de Mark Twain, pintando un cuadro vívido de la vida de pueblo al final del siglo XIX.
