About the book: 1986 / The prose of the largest Uruguayan writer has been published more than once in our country. The "Selected" volume includes three novels: "Thank you for the light", "Respite", "Spring with a broken corner" (the last two are being translated into Russian for the first time) - and short stories. The works of Mario Benedetti are distinguished by deep realism, acute social and moral issues and an original manner of plotting, which allows one to more fully reveal the inner world of his characters.
