In the manner of Porto Bompiani historic literary dictionary, Rafael del Moral includes a selection of more than 700 Spanish novels, each of which is given a brief reference about the subject and intention of the author, a summary of the plot, a brief textual analysis of the novel’s style and characters, a critic’s appreciation and its connection to other works. A complementary bibliography follows each entry. The objective of the work is not critical appraisal, but rather to provide orientation to professors and students, to help readers decide on new reading, or as a mnemonic aid to remember specifics about readings. And of course, it can’t be avoided, it also helps students who have not read the book with their task.
