Reading The Three-Cornered Hat and Other Stories | Alexandria
Read The Three-Cornered Hat and Other Stories by Pedro Antonio de Alarcon. Unmasking societal hypocrisy, the icon exposes how power corrupts through witty tales of deception. His sharp critique of authority figures who abuse trust feels startlingly relevant today. Most surprising? The revelation that maintaining false propriety often breeds more dishonesty than open acknowledgment of human nature.
