«Un mundo que agoniza» is the essay by Miguel Delibes, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (166 pages, in Spanish).
On the occasion of his admission to the Royal Academy, Miguel Delibes gives voice to his fictional characters to argue that technical progress and consumerism can amount to the destruction of nature; faced with that dilemma, they renounce such progress. The author defends a harmony between progress and humanism, with science at the service of man.
The edition, published in 1996, includes illustrations by José Ramón Sánchez and belongs to the Ave Fénix collection.
A work of interest for readers who wish to reflect on the relationship between progress, consumption and the environment.
