Es una deliciosa recopilación de textos de autores y viajeros hispanoamericanos que pasaron por Madrid y describieron lo que vivieron y vieron, algunos con sorna otros con críticas, otros con nostalgia, otros con viveza, otos con la lógica visión de alguién de fuera y otros con planteamientos políticos. Todos ellos anunciando un Madrid decadente, o en esplendor, pero a la vez con la idea de que Madrid para ellos es un referente necesario. En sus páginas hay textos de gran belleza estética y algunos de fina ironía de autores tan renombrados como Martí, Darío, César Vallejo, Carpentier, Neruda, Guillén o Mario Vargas Llosa. Una nueva visión para los amantes de Madrid.

South America became a zone of terror for those w...

La leyenda negra es, en realidad, un fenómeno notablemente complejo que tiene connotaciones europeas y americanas. Con respecto a estas ...
