Abstract

. “El fardo” is an atypical Dario’s short-story; he was originally satisfied by it but later on he decided not to continue writing within that narrative model. The subject sends to a direct social reality. Notwithstanding the author’s judgments it stands as an achieved modern short-story notorious in its “convenient form”. Zola and Hugo’s influences are visible.
