This results in a process that could be denominated “discovery through recognition”. In particular, the article discusses Pío Baroja’s impressions and perception of London, and analyses fragments not only from La ciudad de la niebla and his Memorias, as previous comparative studies usually do, but also from Los impostores joviales, Laura, o La soledad sin remedio, “Los espectros del castillo”, and El hotel del cisne. |
