Summary "Cartas Americanas. Primera Serie" by Juan Valera is a collection of literary letters written in the late 19th century. The work consists of Valera's correspondence discussing various themes associated with Spanish-American literature and culture, highlighting insights into the state of literary affairs during this period. The opening of the book sets the stage for Valera's reflections and observations as he dedicates his letters to a friend and discusses the cultural gap and misunderstandings that arose between Spain and its former colonies in Latin America. He expresses gratitude for a prologue written for his novels and outlines his thoughts on the literary merits of America versus Spain. Valera contrasts the historical trajectories of these regions, delving into the issues of cultural identity and the shared literary heritage despite their political separation, while emphasizing the ongoing potential for intellectual and artistic unity.
