«Artículos de costumbres» is a collection of costumbrista articles by Mariano José de Larra, published by Espasa-Calpe in paperback (450 pages).
Larra portrays nineteenth-century Spanish society in these articles: customs, vices and hypocrisies examined with irony and critical sharpness. Against picturesque costumbrismo, he contrasts everyday reality with modern values and tradition, an essayistic approach that has captivated later generations.
It belongs to the Austral Universal collection from Espasa-Calpe. Edition by Luis F. Díaz Larios. This edition is from 1989.
Suitable for the general public interested in classic Spanish literature and for students approaching Romanticism.
