| Summary | "Cuentos de navidad y reyes; cuentos de la patria; cuentos antiguos" by Emilia Pardo Bazán is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The work draws on themes of tradition, societal norms, and diverse aspects of the human experience, particularly in the context of Christmas and Epiphany. The stories explore various characters, such as a devoted nun, a struggling donkey, and children, reflecting on their struggles and aspirations. At the start of the collection, the author sets a vivid and atmospheric scene with "La Nochebuena del Papa," where people bustle through the streets of Rome on Christmas Eve, eager to witness the Pope's prayer before the manger. As the narrative unfolds, the imagery deepens with a transformative moment at the crux of faith and social consciousness, as a multitude of impoverished souls surround the Christ child. Subsequent stories introduce characters like Sister María, who experiences a tender yet tumultuous internal conflict between her vows and her maternal instincts, alongside the trials faced by the donkey, Peludo. Through these tales, Pardo Bazán delves into themes of sacrifice, longing, and redemption, inviting the reader to reflect on the deeper meanings of love, belief, and societal responsibilities during the festive season.
