There are almost no studies on the Cuentos surrealistas (1979) by José Antonio Muñoz Rojas, author best known for his poetic work in the Spanish post-war period. His stories were mostly written in the 1930s, the time of the rise of Spanish surrealism. The author published them as a whole many years later. Due to its great visuality and humorous trait, the work recalls the carefree and jovial tone of the first avant-garde; however, he moves away from this because of the great depth of thought that Muñoz Rojas expresses in these stories. The objective of this study is to analyze the stories in their context, identify the surreal themes, motifs and techniques, as well as their dominant stylistic features and the posible influences of other authors.
