«Artículos» is an anthology of costumbrismo articles by Mariano José de Larra, published by Orbis in 1984 in hardcover (350 pages, in Spanish).
In these articles, Larra portrays nineteenth-century Spain with critical irony: its backwardness relative to Europe, Carlist absolutism, bureaucracy and national vices. The texts, signed under pseudonyms such as «El pobrecito hablador» and «Fígaro», combine humor, caricature and a direct style, and remain remarkably relevant.
Volume 91 of the Historia de la Literatura Española collection, from Orbis; the anthology includes ten articles.
For readers interested in Spanish Romanticism, costumbrismo literature and nineteenth-century journalism.
Mariano José de Larra y Sánchez de Castro was a Spanish romantic writer and journalist best known for his numerous essays and his infamous suicide. His works were often satirical and critical of the 19th-century Spanish society, and focused on both the politics and customs of his time.
