«Castilla» is the collection of essays and descriptions by Spanish writer Azorín, published by Espasa Calpe in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
Azorín travels across the Castilian plateau and gathers sketches of its towns, landscapes and people, from ruined towers to afternoon bullfights. Faced with the arrival of European modernity, the book explores what remains of Spain's past and of Spanish identity, with an impressionistic prose of short sentences and a very rich vocabulary.
Edition by Inman Fox, in the Austral Collection (no. 254), in its Nuevo Austral Recomendado line.
Recommended reading for students and readers interested in 20th-century Spanish literature and in the prose of the Generation of '98.
José Augusto Trinidad Martínez Ruiz, better known by his pseudonym Azorín, was a Spanish novelist, essayist and literary critic.
