Few writers of the tremendously virile and significant school of modern Spain

summarize in their work so completely the tendencies of the resurgimiento as does Eduardo Zamacois. "Renaissance" is really the watchword of his life and literary output.

This man is a human dynamo, a revitalizing force in Spanish life and letters, an artist who is more than a mere artist; he is a man with a message, a philosophy and a vision; and all these he knows how to clothe in a forceful, masterly and compelling style, which, though not always lucid, always commands.

Zamacois sees life, and paints it as it is, sometimes with humor, often with pitiless, dissecting accuracy. (Goodreads)
