Escenas de una infancia reúne, por primera vez en lengua española, una selección de la mejor prosa breve del Premio Nobel de Literatura. De los relatos aquí contenidos, algunos se adentran libremente en el terreno de lo autobiográfico, como las extraordinarias estampas de «Escenas de una infancia» o «El pelo de Line»: evocan primeras veces, amistades, pérdidas, el descubrimiento del deseo, instantes de felicidad y fracasos más o menos estrepitosos.

Most books about the Soviet Union focus on politics, food shortages, or lack of democratic freedoms. This collection of stories portrays everyday experiences of a young girl growing up in the Soviet Union of the 1970s. Childhood can be a magical and innocent time, oblivious to political regimes and problems. And that's what these 12 stories strive to convey.

Story0
An aged, decrepit old woman wanders the quiet hallways of her home. She remembers a day when they were brighter, more kinetic with anticipation of life within their walls. Family was a regular occurrence, and the tinkling laughter of grandchildren used to echo through the house. Oh, how she missed those times, as she now hobbles oh-so-slowly with her cane through the archaic old home. And as the old woman wanders, reminiscing through the halls, she comes upon a door. Rusty hinges amplify groan of age as the door swings slowly open, and she balances herself in the doorway.
