En 'El gentilhombre europeo', José Luis de Vilallonga nos presenta la historia de un niño que, con una mirada precoz, observa los entresijos de su peculiar familia, los Vallehermoso, grandes de España. Ambientada en los agitados años veinte y treinta, la novela narra la decadencia de esta familia aristocrática. El niño, testigo de los secretos y vaivenes familiares, descubre que nada es lo que parece en ese palacio que se desmorona. Entre una madre distante y un padre tradicional, el joven protagonista se enfrenta a la hipocresía y el deterioro de su entorno.
José Luis de Vilallonga y Cabeza de Vaca, 9th Marquess of Castellbell, GE was a Spanish nobleman, author, socialite and film actor. His peculiar character, described as "a mixture of aristocratic arrogance, self-confidence and unconcern", brought him frequent enmities with other public figures. He was known to be a multifaceted, charming, elegant and playboy-like figure. At his death in 2007, Vilallonga was referred to by several newspapers as "the last dandy".
