Tres relatos porteños Segunda edición

In this compact trio the author offers a sharp‑eyed portrait of Buenos Aires at the turn of the century, blending sly humor with a keen sociological eye. Through a narrator who watches human foibles without judgment, the stories feel like a laboratory where ordinary lives are examined under a microscope of wit. The prose moves with a brisk, almost journalistic rhythm, inviting listeners to hear the city’s pulse as both backdrop and character.

The first tale, “El Cocobacilo de Herrlin,” follows a charismatic doctor whose experiments in a new serum become a satire on blind faith in scientific miracles. “Una Semana de Holgorio” spins a light‑hearted account of a leisurely week in a bohemian quarter, where idle conversations reveal hidden anxieties and aspirations of its inhabitants. In “El culto de los héroes,” a community’s reverence for a celebrated figure is examined, exposing how collective myth can both uplift and imprison.
