| Summary |
"A vuela pluma: colección de artículos literarios y políticos" by Juan Valera is a collection of literary and political essays written in the late 19th century. The text serves as a compilation of Valera's reflections on contemporary literary works and pressing political events, showcasing his insights and opinions as a writer and critic of his time. The author expresses a deep care for his writings, likening them to cherished offspring that he wishes to preserve from being lost to obscurity. The opening of the collection presents Valera's preface, where he discusses the rationale behind publishing his previously scattered articles. He emphasizes his modesty and shares that he does not aim to instruct or teach but rather hopes to entertain and engage readers with his perspectives on literature and society. As he reflects on his literary journey and the cultural context of his time, Valera sets the stage for the essays to follow, hinting at the blend of personal opinion and broader social commentary that characterizes his work throughout the collection.
