Two Novels from The Spanish

March 7, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents an overview of the books "Cabin," by V. Blasco Ib´ñez, and "The City of the Discreet," by Pio Baroja. The "Anglo-Saxon" world is becoming more and more clearly aware that its own soul is far more closely akin to that of the Latin world than it has ever suspected. Blasco Ib´ñez, an ardent worker for the future of Spain in the Cortes as elsewhere, is in fiction a painter of his own Valencia. Nevertheless there is no didacticism in "The Cabin," however sombre its portrayal of social and industrial conditions among the Valencian peasantry.
