Analysing Umbral’s numerous tales reveals a profound poetic dimension, as these texts are impeccable in their technique, thoroughly tailored and stylistically polished. They break with the canon in search of everlasting creative innovation. Particularly talented when depicting milieus and environments, Francisco Umbral has a special gift for evoking atmospheres and moods; he modulates the pace of the narrative, adjusting its lyrical and storytelling facets; and to the musicality of the tale he adds pure and beautiful images full of feelings and emotions, with a lively play of lights and colours. El estudio de los numerosos cuentos de Umbral permite constatar su esencia hondamente poética. Son cuentos rigurosamente elaborados, técnicamente impecables y estilísticamente logrados, que rompen cánones en busca de una perenne innovación creativa. Francisco Umbral posee un don especial para recrear ambientes, atmósferas y climas; adapta el ritmo a la narración, ajustando el cantar y contar; a la musicalidad en el relato se añaden las imágenes, que surgen puras y bellas mediante abundantes sensaciones y emociones, con un vibrante juego de luces y colores
