Cover image: Nación or Nation, by Elena Climent, signed and dated ©2010. Oil on canvas. From the 2010
exhibition “Imágenes de la Patria” celebrating the Bicentennial Anniversary of the Mexican Independence,
sponsored by the Museo Nacional de Arte (MUNAL) in Mexico City and at the Museo de Historia Mexicana in
Monterrey.
About the cover artist: Elena Climent was born in Mexico City in 1955 to a Spanish father, artist Enrique
Climent, an exile from the Spanish Civil War, and to a Jewish New York mother who moved to Mexico in the late
1940s and later worked as a journalist for the Mexican publication of the American newspaper The News. A self-
taught artist, Climent combines her memories and nostalgia for the world in which she grew up with a reflection
of contemporary Mexican and American reality as well as the beauty of the industrialized world. She moved to
New York in 1988, then to Chicago in 1995, and in 2004 returned to New York, where she has been living until the
present. Climent also spends several months a year in Cuernavaca, Mexico, where she has a studio. In the past years,
her paintings have been closely related to her Mexican-American life. Her 2010 painting Nación, or Nation, is one of
her most important recent works that describes her life as a dual national. It is done in a narrative format composed
of multiple images that represent simultaneous stories about Mexico City, New York and moving back and forth
between the two countries. 
About the illustrator: Anna Veltfort was born in Darmstadt, Germany, was raised and educated in Cuba and
the United States, and resides in New York City with her family and cats. She has designed and illustrated numerous
books for children and adults, and interactive CD-rOM games for young teens.

Student Preface
Dear Spanish Student:
Congratulations for continuing your study of Spanish, a language that will open many doors
for you and be a special asset as you explore future educational and professional opportunities.
As you know, millions of people in the United States and around the world speak Spanish as a
first or second language.
Welcome to Album: Cuentos del mundo hispánico, Cuarta edición. Although you have
already read numerous Spanish texts in your prior years of language study, this may be the first
time that you have the opportunity to enjoy complete, unabridged short stories by recognized
Hispanic authors from Latin America and Spain, as well as the United States. The stories we
have selected are not only of human interest, but will serve as a springboard for discovering
and reflecting on the wealth and diversity of literatures and cultures of the Spanish-speaking
world.
Before you begin reading a story, view the opening illustration and read its corresponding
quotation. Try to guess what the reading will be about and who the characters might be. The
author biography and the Contexto cultural will further help set the scene for your reading. You
will discover that words and expressions that might be unfamiliar are glossed in the margin.
Cultural references and longer expressions are explained in footnotes. In addition, we have
provided a Spanish-English vocabulary at the end of the book. With these many reading aids,
you should be able to enjoy the stories as literary works rather than as linguistic puzzles to be
decoded.
If we can offer one bit of advice, it is to listen to the recordings of the stories. The stories
can be found on the premium website and downloaded as mp3s at your convenience. For some
stories you may want to listen to the recording first, after viewing the opening illustration, to
see how much you can understand, and then read the printed text. For others, you may wish to
read the story first and then listen to the recording. Or, you can play the recording while read-
ing the story in your book. You can even try speaking or lip synching along with the portions
of the recording to get the music and rhythm of Spanish into your head.
Each story is accompanied by a variety of classroom activities that enable you to build
your vocabulary, to analyze what you have read, and to share your insights and reflections with
your classmates. Indeed, the many Interpretación activities will also help you prepare for other
Spanish courses, and/or study and travel abroad. In the appendixes you will discover listings of
Términos literarios and Expresiones cinematográficas as well as answers to the Resumen activi-
ties and additional Comparaciones y contrastes en contexto topics.
¡¡Diviértete!! Enjoy this rich collection of short stories!
