Author Description

Various authors of different nationalities appear together in this collection with themes that transcend frontiers and speak to all readers. The modern language and contemporary nature of the stories appeals especially to adolescent readers. Universally consecrated authors -- Cortazar, Moravia, Asimov, Allende -- and those with less resonant names -- Kordon, Gardini, Villafane -- share their voices in this book, symbolizing a pluralist concept of literature.
