«El candidato melancólico» is the essay on language by José Antonio Millán, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (168 pages, in Spanish).
The book starts from the idea that words keep memory of their origin: a sewer could once have been a bridge, and behind «discos» lurks «dirigir». With examples like these, Millán traces the etymology of Spanish and shows how language can say more than it seems.
Published in 2006, it falls within the field of popularisation about the Spanish language and etymology.
A work for readers interested in language, etymologies and the curiosities of Spanish.
