The essays of this collection —with Vision of Anáhuac as a guidepost— offer an example of Alfonso Reyes’ extraordinary and superb prose, his rich effects, his colorful palette, his musicality. Reyes is to prose in Spanish what Darío was to poetry: the renovation of the language, the cheerful confirmation of the capacity of the words themselves to go far beyond. The river of images shine with a hypnotic force, with the shine of a real jewel, a pleasure for the senses and intellect of the reader.
