«Las confesiones de un pequeño filósofo» is the autobiographical novel by José Martínez Ruiz (Azorín), published by Espasa Calpe in paperback (181 pages).
Azorín recalls his childhood and youth: life as a boarder at a Piarist school in Yecla, glances escaping towards the plain from the study hall, the teachers and their habits, and the rural landscape with its trades and family homes. The prose, simple and restrained, hints at the formation of a sensibility that anticipates the adult.
Work originally published in 1904; this 1976 edition belongs to the Selecciones Austral collection, with a prologue by José María Martínez Cachero. Text in Spanish.
Readers interested in early 20th-century Spanish literature and Azorín's autobiographical gaze will find here a brief classic.
José Augusto Trinidad Martínez Ruiz, better known by his pseudonym Azorín, was a Spanish novelist, essayist and literary critic.
