«Castilla» is the essay book by José Martínez Ruiz (Azorín), published by Espasa-Calpe in paperback (312 pages, in Spanish).
Castilla brings together Azorín's sketches and reflections on the Castilian region: landscapes, towns, people and monuments seen as traces of time and of Spain's history. The author observes the everyday with an impressionistic and nostalgic eye, and in his sober, lyrical prose seeks the signs of the national soul.
The work was originally published in 1912; this edition from the Austral Collection (no. 254) includes an introduction by E. Inman Fox.
For readers interested in the Generation of '98, early 20th-century Spanish literature, and landscape sketches with a historical backdrop.
José Augusto Trinidad Martínez Ruiz, better known by his pseudonym Azorín, was a Spanish novelist, essayist and literary critic.
