«Ante el espejo» is the autobiographical novel by Luis Antonio de Villena, published by Editorial Argos Vergara in paperback (193 pages, in Spanish).
Villena recalls his adolescence in a fragmentary, poetic narrative: a solitary young man, fascinated by a promising world, grows up in the closed environment of a declining aristocratic family. Elegant ladies, school boredom, the awakening of desire, books and imagination merge into a confession between reality and fantasy.
Published in 1982, it was Villena's first novel and appeared in the Colección En cuarto mayor (no. 125).
For readers of autobiographical fiction and Spanish literature, interested in the look at adolescence and aristocratic decline.
