Summary "Cuentos de mi tiempo" by Jacinto Octavio Picón is a collection of short stories likely written in the late 19th century. The stories delve into the themes of social injustice, struggles of the working class, and the nuances of human relationships in a rapidly changing society. The characters appear to navigate both personal and societal trials, embodying the challenges of their time. The opening portion of the work sets the stage with a reflective introduction from the author, expressing a desire to address the injustices within society through artistic storytelling. Following this is the first story titled "La amenaza," which introduces Gaspar Santigós, also known as "Gasparón," a strong, noble worker who faces a tragic accident that results in the loss of his arm. The narrative captures his struggles through the aftermath of his injury, the indifference of the factory system, and the brewing tensions among workers as they contemplate their societal conditions, ultimately igniting a collective sense of anger and desire for change in the face of oppression.
