«Santiago de Rosalía Castro» is the historical essay by Gonzalo Torrente Ballester, published by Planeta in paperback (152 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together Torrente Ballester's notes on the Compostela that Rosalía de Castro knew: a historical and urban journey through its streets, squares and statues, and through the weight of the bourgeoisie in its configuration. The author reflects on how cities are formed, transformed and preserved, from Romantic sensibility to the modern protection of heritage.
First edition of 1989, in the collection 'Ciudades en la Historia', illustrated with colour and black-and-white photographs; includes index and bibliography.
May appeal to fans of the urban history of Compostela, of the figure of Rosalía de Castro and of Torrente Ballester's essayistic work.
