Los discursos de Miguel Delibes

Miguel Delibes gave his first speech at the ceremony of his reception at the Royal Spanish Academy in 1975, and over time it turned out to be a literary jewel with a message that was more current than ever and without a doubt one of the great themes of his work: how progress Modern technology can destroy nature and, with it, an essential component of our humanity. Reading Delibes encourages us to reflect on issues as diverse as ecology, freedom of expression or the ethical dimension of writing. In these texts we will find the pleasure of the precise word, the one that names reality with the precision and unparalleled beauty that we already know from the narrator Delibes, and that rescues us from the comfort of not thinking that prevails in today's society.
