Enviado por • 9 de Junio de 2013 • 3. 192 Palabras (13 Páginas) • 9. 996 Visitas MUJERES DE OJOS GRANDES - ÁNGELES MASTRETTA Es una colección de treinta cuentos cortos. Cada cuento relata algo sobre una 'tía', cuya situación de vida la obliga a tomar una decisión o actuar de alguna manera. El narrador relata en tercera persona y es omnisciente. Las tías tienen edades diferentes y muchas veces son esposas, madres o solteras. Los acontecimientos cruciales son las actuaciones imprevisibles de esas mujeres que sorprenden a sus entornos y también al lector. Las protagonistas se ven obligadas a actuar o decidirse por una postura que suele resultar imprevisible desde el punto de vista social o moral. Son historias sin título pero me he permitido la libertad de inventar uno para cada una de ellas, para dar una leve pista sobre lo que tratan: LOS NÍSPEROS (TÍA LEONOR) Personajes: • Tía Leonor: caderas redondas, espalda pecosa y hombros suavemente alzados. • Alberto Palacios: notario rico. • Sergio: ojos precoces y labios delgados.
