«A la cola del mundo» is the collection of aphorisms and thoughts by Diego de Torres Villarroel, published by Edhasa in hardcover (144 pages, in Spanish).
The selection, edited by Ramón Andrés, brings together brief texts in which Torres Villarroel observes with irony and sharpness the Spanish society of his time and human nature. His concise and imaginative style places him as a classic of Spanish-language prose, and this anthology allows readers to appreciate his mastery of language and his heterogeneous view of different environments and social classes.
The work belongs to the «Aforismos» collection. The cover reproduces the oval portrait of the author, and the edition was published in Barcelona in 2004.
Recommended for readers interested in the Spanish aphorism, eighteenth-century literature, and the satirical tradition that links to Quevedo.
Diego de Torres Villarroel was a Spanish writer, poet, dramatist, doctor, mathematician, priest and professor of the University of Salamanca. His most famous work is his autobiography, Vida, ascendencia, nacimiento, crianza y aventuras del Doctor Don Diego de Torres Villarroel.
