About This Book

Conjunto de croquis y estampas costumbristas que retratan, con atención al detalle y tono irónico, la convivencia entre habitantes locales y veraneantes; describe modas, comportamientos y rituales de la temporada estival, desde familias acomodadas que instalan su gran equipaje y su servidumbre hasta la imitación social que contagia peinados, vestidos y gestos. Cada texto ofrece una observación puntual de tipos humanos y del paisaje urbano y playero, alternando descripción minuciosa, aforismo y humor para recrear la fisonomía mutable de la ciudad en verano.
