| Indispensable classic and text of great importance, both within the Azorean work and for the contemporary history of Spain and its thought. Madrid is the story of what the Generation of '98 was, for its author, what it consisted of and what was the environment in which it developed. The Azorinian Castilian spirit remains in this book. Costumbrismo, asceticism, Castilian gravity, the unity of the country, the relationship with Europe, the concept of Spain, the symbolism of Toledo, are themes that have constantly appeared in Azorín's work. In this text, the author takes care to underline it, in case someone has forgotten it. He even incorporates quotes from his previous writings. This book is one of the most suggestive, along with Valencia, to delve into Azorín's personality and intuit the development of his thought. Madrid is a text that totally represents the Azorín of the time, marking a turning point both in his career and way of thinking. It is the work of a great prose writer, probably the best and clearest prose writer that the country has produced during the 20th century. |
