«Antología fugaz» is the anthology of costumbrista articles by Mariano José de Larra, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (221 pages, in Spanish).
The book brings together articles in which Larra portrays and criticises nineteenth-century Spanish society: customs, politics, culture and daily life, with irony and a reflective gaze. Many of these texts were published under the pseudonym Fígaro and are a representative sample of the costumbrista journalism of Spanish Romanticism.
Published in 1979, it is part of the Biblioteca Fundamental de Nuestro Tiempo collection (no. 16). It includes a prologue and selection by Francisco Umbral.
For readers interested in Spanish Romanticism, costumbrista articles and nineteenth-century prose classics.
Mariano José de Larra y Sánchez de Castro was a Spanish romantic writer and journalist best known for his numerous essays and his infamous suicide. His works were often satirical and critical of the 19th-century Spanish society, and focused on both the politics and customs of his time.
