The Pearl:
The poignant story of Kino, the fisherman who found a great pearl. A pearl that was to turn him into every man’s enemy – a pearl that was to bring him sorrow and death.
Burning Bright:
A powerful human drama of two men – one sterile of body, one sterile of mind – and of a woman driven to infidelity to keep her husband’s love.
Two brilliant stories: one poignant and moving, the other controversial but sensitive – by the winner of the 1962 Nobel Prize for literature.
