Read six short stories by Emilia Pardo Bazán — one of Spain's greatest writers — in the original Spanish beside a clear English translation, one sentence at a time. From the sly "El amor asesinado" (Love Assassinated) to the eerie "El fantasma" (The Ghost), these compact, sharply observed tales show why Pardo Bazán is a master of the Spanish short story.

Every sentence is aligned Spanish-to-English, so you always know exactly what you are reading. Tap any word for an instant definition, listen to natural audio in both languages, and follow the highlighted word alignment as the story is read aloud.

Pardo Bazán's elegant, precise prose makes her an excellent author for intermediate learners. Read one polished tale at a time and grow your Spanish.
