«Castilla, lo castellano y los castellanos» is an anthology of texts by Miguel Delibes, published by Espasa in paperback (232 pages, in Spanish).
The book brings together texts by Delibes on Castile and its people: it alternates reflective commentary with narrative passages portraying everyday life. With humour, irony and compassion, it offers a critical view of the region, between nostalgia for the past and a hopeful look towards modernity.
1995 edition included in the Austral Collection (no. 358), with a prologue by Emilio Alarcos Llorach.
For readers interested in rural Castile, the literary essay and Miguel Delibes's view of the region.
Miguel Delibes Setién was a Spanish novelist, journalist and newspaper editor associated with the Generation of '36 movement. From 1975 until his death, he was a member of the Royal Spanish Academy, where he occupied letter "e" seat. Educated in commerce, he began his career as a cartoonist and columnist. He later became the editor for the regional newspaper El Norte de Castilla before gradually devoting himself exclusively to writing novels.
