| Summary: | The present essay studies the youthful literary work of one of the Spanish Fascism's founders. Born in the modest large family of a rural teacher, Ramiro Ledesma Ramos (1905-1936), he was a post office civil employee and a self taught person, though he studied at Madrid university without achieving any academical degree. His 1924 novel, "El sello de la muerte" ("The label of the death"), expressively dedicated to Unamuno, recreates the autobiography of a hard life's writer who, in the moment of accomplishing fame, commits suicide. His coetaneous essay "El Quijote y nuestro tiempo" ("Quixote and our times"), presents a vision of the Cervantine Novel as a permanent fight against frustration and decadence. In the works of 1928-1930 years, although, the interest in philosophy prevails and the influence of the Unamuno's agonic pessimism is replaced by the willful and more tending towards political action philosophy of Ortega y Gasset. |
