The great writer’s speeches collected for the first time in book form.
Miguel Delibes gave his first speech on the occasion of his acceptance in the Real Academia Española in 1975, and over time it has become a literary gem with a message that is now more important than ever and undoubtedly one of the main themes of his work: how progress in modernity can kill nature, and with it, an essential component of our own humanity. Reading Delibes leads us to reflect on topics as diverse as ecology, freedom of expression or the ethical dimensions of writing. In these texts we find the pleasure of the precise word that names reality with unparalleled accuracy and beauty that we recognize from Delibes as narrator, and that also rescues us from the facile stance of not thinking that reigns in the society of today.
