Fabián Dobles was an outstanding Costa Rican novelist, storyteller, and poet (1918- 1997), member of the so called “Generación del 40” (The 40’s Generation) and leftist activist committed to a change in the country’s politics. In their main works “Aguas Turbias” (1942),  “Ese que llaman pueblo” (1943), “Una burbuja en el limbo” (1946), “El sitio de las abras” (1950), “En el San Juan hay tiburón” (1967), “Los años, pequeños días” (1989) stand out.

Through their varied literary works, Dobles presents the essence of our country and invites us to maintain an openness to another type of consciousness and of story, by mainly highlighting the beauty, the humanity, and the identity of Costa Rican people in his narrations.
