«Castilla» is Azorín's book of essays, published by Espasa-Calpe in paperback (223 pages, in Spanish).
The book brings together literary images in which Azorín evokes wind-beaten villages, old towers, hidalgos and evening bullfights. Through these images, he reflects on the character of Spain and the tension between the modernization arriving from northern Europe and the will to preserve its historical past.
Work originally published in 1912; this edition, edited by Inman Fox, belongs to the Austral Collection (no. 254).
For readers of Spanish literature and literary essays interested in Azorín's vision of the landscape and identity of Castile.
José Augusto Trinidad Martínez Ruiz, better known by his pseudonym Azorín, was a Spanish novelist, essayist and literary critic.
