«Artículos de costumbres» is a collection of costumbrista articles by Mariano José de Larra, published by Espasa in paperback (170 pages, in Spanish).
Under the pseudonym Fígaro, Larra portrays with irony the vices, virtues and contradictions of nineteenth-century Spanish society: everyday customs become material for an agile and often bitter critique. The edition brings together a selection of articles originally published in the press of the time.
Volume in Espasa's Centenary Collection, published in 2000.
Ideal for students of Spanish literature and readers interested in costumbrismo and nineteenth-century social criticism.
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.
