*I read the Project Guttenberg version*
I feel weird giving this a star rating because a lot of the humor went over my head because of it's age. I also hesitate to rate it because of the outdated language and ideologies.
This was an interesting collection of short stories although some of them reflect the more problematic humor of the nineteenth centrury. Racism, sexism, xenophobia.

Short stories, presented as testimonies. Fantastic & masterfully condensed in a few lines, in a stripped-down style, which has remained very modern. But I reached the saturation threshold very quickly, especially since the endings are suddenly predictable.

Hay pocos autores de los que compro todo lo que se publica, a veces sólo porque hay una antología que trae un relato inédito y con eso es suficiente. Es el caso con Bierce, con esta estupenda antología de Alianza que no tiene desperdicio y que aunque habré leído ya (casi) todas estas fábulas la traducción es excelente y siempre hace bien volver a Bierce.
