El presente libro tiene como objeto el análisis de los cuentos de José Martínez Ruiz. Se inicia el mismo con un estudio de la poética de la narración breve del propio autor. Siguiendo su concepción del cuento literario - tan susceptible de cambios con el correr de los años- y de la que nos dieron prestigiosos azorinistas, hemos llegado a delimitar un corpus que supera los seiscientos relatos.
