| Summary |
"Esbozos y rasguños: Obras completas - Vol. VII" by José María de Pereda is a collection of literary sketches written in the late 19th century. This volume presents various narratives that delve into social customs and relationships in the provincial Spanish society of the time. The author, known for his vivid portrayals of life in northern Spain, explores themes of class, friendship, and societal norms through an array of engaging characters and scenarios." "The opening of this volume includes a preface in which Pereda humorously addresses potential criticisms of his work, acknowledging that while some pieces may not be polished gems, they are nonetheless valuable for the memories and sentiments they evoke. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing the subjective nature of literature and the connections readers may have to personal experiences reflected in his tales. The subsequent segments begin with a depiction of social visits and the dynamics of polite society, illustrated through the exchanges between characters who navigate the complex web of social etiquette, revealing a mix of irony, observations on superficiality, and critiques of the era's standards."
