Spanish literature in the 20th century was driven by tradition, experimentation, civil strife, exile, and New World promise. In this beautifully wrought series, the lives and works of four iconoclastic writers are examined through a mixture of expert commentary; the reminiscences of family, friends, and fellow writers; archival film and photos; and contemporaneous journals, articles, and posters. Spanish, 4-part series, 55-106 minutes each.
