action and adventure,contemporary,education and reference,fiction,foreign language fiction,genre fiction,hispanic,humanities,latin american,literature, These stories, well translated from the Spanish, describe the severe beauty and cruelty of southern Chile--cold, inhospitable, full of craggy, treacherous channels--the end of the world.
