This second edition of the Complete short stories by Manauta (1919–2013) includes new materials: a short story, brief tales, a novel and other unfinished texts, essays, lectures, interviews, reviews, letters, facsimiles, illustrations and photographs. Also, for the first time different readings of his narrative are offered. The volume is completed with a chronology, a bibliography and notes prepared for this edition. Somehow this work is—hence an homage to the author—a new beginning. Prologue: Sergio Delgado. Preliminar study: Federico Bibbó.
