A pleasant read that not only shows the stylistic elegance of Reyes, but also his intelligence and fine sense of humor. This is a very different narrative that passes along cosmopolitan customs and the lyricism of irony. This volume has been prepared by the granddaughter of the writer, Alicia Reyes, who also narrates the personal circumstances of the author and the historical context in which they were written.
Alfonso Reyesis an essayist, poet, novelist, playwright, historian, diplomat, philosopher, and one of the greatest figures in Latin American literature.
