In 1919 Azorín - the pseudonym with which, as is known, José Martínez Ruiz signed - published this surprising little book that, under the guise of a war chronicle (World War I), becomes a metaphorical theory of post-symbolist aesthetics. . The reuse of texts written primarily as press articles, mixed with new pages, is a compositional technique that the author has carried out successfully at least since The Will (1902). In this case, integrated into a new group, the journalistic chronicles of the bombing of Paris in 1918 take on new significance and come to constitute, as Jorge Urrutia's prologue explains, one of the greatest books of Azorean writing.
