Bøker av Josefina Niggli

Josefina Niggli (1910-1983) was one of the most successful Mexican American writers of the early twentieth century. Although Niggli is perhaps best known for her fiction and folk plays, this anthology recovers her historical dramas. It includes an introduction to Niggli, and a chronology of her life and writings.

This is a collection of ten absorbing stories, rich in setting, tense in action, and warm in their sympathy with the human comedy. The main interest in all the stories is the comedy or tragedy in the lives of the people, but each story has its own enveloping action of excitement and colour. Pervading the whole is an authentic folk life--Christian and pagan marvelously mixed.
