«España contemporánea» is Rubén Darío's book of journalistic chronicles, published by Alfaguara in paperback (457 pages, in Spanish).
The chronicles sent by Rubén Darío to the Buenos Aires newspaper La Nación portray Spain at the end of the nineteenth century, immersed in crisis and pessimism after the loss of its last colonies. The author combines observation of social and cultural life with political reflection, leaving a lucid testimony of a country in transition.
