«Mediterráneos» is a travel literature book by Rafael Chirbes, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardcover (168 pages, in Spanish).
In this book, Rafael Chirbes brings together texts on Mediterranean cities and readings, from Istanbul to Valencia, and traces an itinerary that goes from childhood to the last coast. The sea is shown as territory, historical memory and stimulus for writing; the author recognizes himself as heir to Homer, Virgil, Herodotus or Ibn Khaldun, and also to closer authors such as Cavafy, Camus or Pla.
Published in 2008, it is the second edition in the Narrativas hispánicas collection (no. 440); the text is in Spanish.
For readers of travel literature and essays interested in the culture and history of the Mediterranean.
