«Artículos» is the selection of costumbrista articles by Mariano José de Larra, published by La Galera in paperback (312 pages, in Spanish).
The book brings together a selection of Larra's articles, the genre that made him famous: brief journalistic prose or sketches of customs that reflect trades, habits and types of his era. His costumbrismo is critical and satirical, opposed to demagoguery and empty rhetoric, and in it the romantic spirit and enlightened reformism converge.
