Eldorado
Un pueblo del Sur en la España de 1960 acorralado entre el casticismo del Antiguo Régimen y el cosmopolitismo de la Década Prodigiosa. Los personajes del libro son los jóvenes que en febrero de 1956 se sublevaron por primera vez contra el statu quo implantado por la Guerra Civil. Los mismos que, veinticinco años más tarde, empuñaron las riendas de la España democrática. Fernando Sánchez Dragó es entonces un joven, pobre, feliz y discípulo de Hemingway, que acaba de separarse y llega a Torremolinos tan decidido a devorar el mundo.

The Literary Institution in Portugal Since the Thirties
Despite the numerous studies of the politics, economy, culture, and society of the Estado Novo, the relations established between publishers, authors, and governmental institutions and their contribution to the making of the literary canon are still marginal subjects of analysis. Based on the systems theories developed by Bourdieu, Dubois and Even-Zohar, this study focuses on the cultural production produced during the Estado Novo (1933-1974) and after the Revolution (1974-2004), within their political, economic and social framework. The chapters on José Saramago and José Luís Peixoto show them as examples of literary consecration that confirm the systemic relations in the Portuguese literary field. This research makes use of a survey on habits of purchase of Portuguese fiction, interviews with publishers, original statistical analyses, and takes a new approach to the study of Portuguese literature.
