Excerpt from El Capitán Veneno
Taking him all in all, Alarcón, though not one of the very greatest of Spanish novelists, is to be accorded a high place among the prose writers of his country. In his more extensive works, his inequality of production, the intemperance of his speech and style, and his frequent grotesqueness of conception, are all defects due to a lack of training in his youth. By sheer force of genius alone he forged his way to the eminently respectable rank which every impartial critic must grant him among the clever and fascinating writers of short tales.
