I like this article and the writing in it. There is a great deal to say about it. It is out of field for me so there may be more articles like it. I think you should indicate them to me. Axé.

To read on El tungsteno, one of Vallejo’s underrated works. Axé.
Here is a description of the book, in a HALLALI, a cultural studies journal on the Great War and the Hispanic world. It is an attempt to throw light on the life and work of Vallejo from the point of view of documents that have been hard to get or to see heretofore. It includes … More Textos rescatados de Vallejo
