-Grabaciones que, por encargo del Centro de Estudios Históricos, realizaron Tomás Navarro Tomás y Eduardo Martínez Torner, entre 1931 y 1933, preservando algo tan valioso para la historia intelectual de España que permiten escuchar, en sus voces originales, el testimonio directo de los protagonistas de la generación del 98 y sus coetáneos. Los discos originales, como en éste caso, son virtualmente imposibles de conseguir hoy día, ya que una muy limitada cantidad de ellos fueron impresos y por consiguiente, el valor intrínseco no se limita únicamente a su contenido histórico sino además a su rareza excepcional como objetos de colección.

LA GENERACIÓN DEL 98.

España: el desastre del 98: pérdida de las últimas colonias americanas, [Cuba , Puerto Rico, Filipinas] consecuencia de la llamada "Spanish Civil War". Todos los problemas de España culminan en una serie de meditaciones y cuestionamientos, tanto en prosa como en verso. El grupo de escritores que se dan cuenta del mal que aqueja a España se han agrupado en torno al nombre dado por Azorín (José Martínez Ruíz) quien los llamó la Generación del 98. Entre ellos figuran Miguel de Unamuno, José Ortega y Gasset, Azorín, Ramón del Valle Inclán, Pío Baroja, Antonio Machado y Juan Ramón Jiménez. Escritores muy diversos en su arte, tan disímiles entre sí como los escritores del modernismo hispanoamericano.

Generation of '98 (Spanish Literature)

Spanish literary and cultural movement in the first two decades of the 20th cent. It was so named by Azorín (José Martínez Ruiz), in 1913 to designate a group of young writers who, in the face of defeat (1898) in the Spanish-American War, proclaimed a moral and cultural rebirth for Spain. Azorín's original list included Valle Inclán, Unamuno, Benavente y Martínez, Baroja y Nessi, Ramiro de Maeztu, Darío, and Azorín himself. It has since been emended to include Ganivet and Antonio Machado, as well as Ortega y Gasset, Pérez de Ayala, and Marañón. Darío is more often considered as the founder of modernismo. The group was concerned with defining the essential quality of Spain, studying its history and culture. In the austere life of Castile many of them discovered the key to the essence of Hispanicism. While they attacked aestheticism and the current adulation of the Austrian satiric poet Karl Kraus, they also represented cosmopolitan trends, including political liberalism. They greatly influenced the work of later Spanish writers.

These are recordings made between 1931 and 1933, commissioned by the "Centro de Estudios Históricos" in Madrid, made by Tomás Navarro Tomás and Eduardo Martínez Torner, in order to preserve unique documents related to the intelectual history of Spain. We can hear, in their own original voices, the direct testimony of some of the most important exponents of the Generation of '98. The original records, such as the one offered here on eBay, are virtually impossible of finding today, because they were printed in a very limited number and not for sale purposes. Therefore, thier intrinsec value is not limited uniquely to their historical contents but also to their rarity as collectible objects.
