5. Short Stories by Ruben Dario<\/h3>\n

Via Vianica<\/a><\/p>\n

Short stories are a great way to take on reading in small chunks. You will still be immersed in the world of fiction while not getting too wrapped up in complex story lines and drawn-out plots.<\/p>\n

The short stories by Nicaraguan Modernist author and poet Ruben Dario are written, of course, in the Modernist style. Dario has been credited as being one of the fathers of this 19th Century literary movement that focuses on the importance of nature and the exotic.<\/p>\n

\"El<\/span><\/p>\n

Via Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n

This novel by Colombian author Gabriel Garc\u00eda M\u00e1rquez was published in 1985 and has also been adapted into a film.<\/p>\n

This is a story of love–sort of. While there is plenty of characters that go into the formation of the story, there are two that certainly and clearly stand out. The love between Florentino and Fermina is forbidden from the very beginning. After years (decades, really) and a lot of other experiences apart, the two are finally able to come together again.<\/p>\n

While some may view this story as one of true love standing the test of time, others have pointed to Garc\u00eda M\u00e1rquez\u2019s true meaning being to draw a relationship between love as an illness (i.e. love sickness). This is done through the parallel of the disease that was plaguing the time in which it was set (late 1800s to early 1900s) Cholera.<\/p>\n

7. La vida de Lazarillo de Tormes (The Life of Lazarillo de Tormes)<\/h3>\n

\"La<\/span><\/p>\n

Via Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the great classics of Spanish literature, this book was written by an unknown author in the 16th century. Written in the form of a letter, the story outlines the life of the main character Lazarillo as he navigates his way through the trials of his time.<\/p>\n

Considered the precursor to the \u201cnovela picaresca\u201d in which the main character is the very definition of an \u201canti-hero\u201d this story serves as a social commentary. It aims, in a somewhat comical way at times, to point out the hypocrisy of the religious figures of the day (especially surrounding the idea of the Inquisition, which was in full swing).<\/p>\n

Considering that it was written centuries ago, and with a sarcastic, somewhat satirical air, this book is recommended for the advanced learner.<\/p>\n

Via Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n

Winner of several awards, this novel is another Spanish classic although it was written in the last century. Published in 1944, this story takes a critical look at post-Civil War Spain and the poverty and hardships that formed a large part of everyday life.<\/p>\n

The story follows young Andrea as she moves to Barcelona to live with her grandmother where she intends to study and start a fresh, new life after the war. The condition of the home, where she had so many lovely childhood memories, leaves her feeling completely disillusioned, and serves as the perfect backdrop for her time in the city. A coming-of-age story, this book follows the main character through some of the most trying times of her life.<\/p>\n

This book will not only help improve your Spanish, but it will also give you insight into one of the most tumultuous times in Spain\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

\"\"Via Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n

Another famous book from the world-renowned Colombian author Gabriel Garc\u00eda M\u00e1rquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude was published in 1967 and follows one family through various generations. The story takes place in the fictional town of Macondo, which is a metaphor for Colombia, and contains both realistic and fantastical elements.<\/p>\n

Macondo was discovered and founded by the Buend\u00eda family. It\u2019s a magical place with very special properties. Although the beginning appears to be idyllic, the Buend\u00eda family quickly encounters numerous problems, most of them created by themselves, in fact.<\/p>\n

The story is complex and carries with it a lot of clear and not-so-clear messages. The main theme of the story is the inescapable nature of Macondo (i.e. Colombia), and the fact that history seems to repeat itself constantly, and the inhabitants of the island are unable to pull themselves out of the repetitive cycle.  <\/p>\n

10. Don Quijote de la Mancha by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra<\/h3>\n

Via Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n

No list of Spanish literature would be complete without including what is probably one of the most famous novels of all time, Don Quijote de la Mancha<\/em> by Miguel de Cervantes.<\/p>\n

Written in two volumes, the first published in 1605 and the second in 1615, this story follows the intelligent and well-read, albeit extremely frustrating at times, Don Quijote and his not-too-bright but very lovable sidekick Sancho Panza. Initially meant to be a satire of the famous \u201cknight-in-shining-armour novels\u201d, this story clearly took on a life of its own.<\/p>\n

It is a satirical, comedic, tragic, romantic, adventure novel that not only serves as a commentary of the time but also raises a lot of questions that address the human condition in general. The main character, Don Quijote, becomes lost in a fantasy world of knights and monsters, damsels in distress and castles on a hill. Embarking on a journey to become a \u201ccaballero andante\u201d (knight) himself, Quijote encounters countless other characters who add to the story\u2019s multi-layered feel.<\/p>\n

Given the complex nature of the story itself, as well as the time period in which it was written, this story is recommended for more advanced learners. (Although, easier adaptations have been written, and are also worth a read.)<\/p>\n
