«Artículos varios» is a collection of articles by Mariano José de Larra, edited by Evaristo Correa Calderón, Castalia, paperback, 568 pages, in Spanish.
Larra's articles combine costumbrismo and social criticism: with subtle irony he portrays the people and settings of 19th-century Spain, from the café to bullfighting or the press. He does not merely seek to entertain; his texts have sociological depth and reflect the vices and contradictions of a society in transformation.
Volume 70 of the Clásicos Castalia collection, published in 1976. Includes a biographical and critical introduction, bibliographic note and select bibliography.
For readers interested in costumbrismo, literary journalism and 19th-century Spain.
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.
