Raquel Peláez's book is an essay that explores the evolution of the "pijos" in Spain, from the gentlemen of the 19th century to the current "cayetanos." The author, with her ironic and satirical style, analyzes the idiosyncrasies of this Spanish upper class, which is torn between snobbery and eternal aspiration. The book not only x-rays the life of the "pijos," but also delves into their insecurities and their impact on current Spanish society. Peláez, known for her contributions to El País and Vanity Fair, offers a revealing view of how this phenomenon reflects the true origin of the class struggle in Spain.
Auditorium, March 13, at 7:00 p.m.
