This collects all of Chilean writer María Luisa Bombal's fiction: her two short novels, La última niebla (The Final Mist) and La amortajada (The Shrouded Woman), and five stories, including «El árbol» and «Las islas nuevas». In The Shrouded Woman, a dead woman looks back on her life as she watches those keeping vigil over her. Throughout her work Bombal mixes the realistic and the supernatural to explore women's inner lives, above all desire, in a patriarchal society.

Why people still read it
Borges, Carlos Fuentes and García Márquez admired her; she is regarded as a forerunner of magical realism and an influence on Juan Rulfo.

Why we only look at used copies

In Spain, Law 10/2007 fixes the price of new books: the publisher sets it and shops can only take 5% off. Amazon, FNAC and your local bookshop all cost the same. The only place the price moves is second-hand.
