Content description
Novel by Azorín (José Martínez Ruiz), one of the founding works of the Generation of '98. Set largely in Yecla, it follows Antonio Azorín and his master Yuste in a fragmentary, descriptive and unhurried prose that renews the Spanish novel. It is structured in a prologue, three parts, an epilogue and the chapter «Desde la colina», and is signed at the end «J. Martínez Ruiz».
