In these five intense and delicately atmospheric narratives, Guadalupe Nettel proposes a crossroads between the animal world and the human universe to speak of themes as natural as the ferocity of life as a couple, motherhood --when it is desired and when it is not--, the existential crises of adolescence, or the unimaginable bonds that can be established between two lovers. Her gaze projects the subterranean and secret aspects of her characters, the anomalous, the unconfessable. The stories in *Natural Histories* are masterfully constructed spaces in which we ask ourselves how and at what moment the most intimate and hidden decisions are forged within us, those that, without our suspecting it, will definitively mark our existence.
