Londres

Synopsis of Londres

At the end of 1910, journalist Julio Camba arrived in London from Paris to take charge of the correspondence for the newspaper El Mundo. During his stay, he wrote nearly one hundred and fifty articles capturing the essence of a city shrouded in fog, marked by the memory of Queen Victoria and the presence of literary figures like Sherlock Holmes. This work, the result of his journalistic experiences in 1910 and 1913, offers an ironic and provocative look at British society of the time. With a characteristic style full of humor and wit, Camba analyzes English seriousness, punctuality, and gastronomy, achieving a timeless portrait that remains relevant decades after its publication.
