The literary history of the question: “Art for art’s sake” in Europe and, more specifically, in Spain, is the subject of the book by Roberto Mansberger Amorós entitled La Joven Europa y España: la cuestión de «el arte por el arte» (Young Europe and Spain: the question of «art for art’s sake», written in Spanish). The book is composed of six chapters, along with the introduction, conclusion, extensive bibliography and index of names. The chapters focused on the general history of the idea alternate with those dedicated to the particular writers and thinkers. Chapter 1 presents the theory of “art for art’s sake,” its origin and progress. Chapter 2 introduces the subject of Young Europe, with the focus on Young Poland and Young Spain. Chapter 3 is an extensive digression about the subject of morals in Spanish 19th century literature, aesthetics, ethics and critics. Chapter 4 studies the individual stances of Valera and Campoamor, whereas chapter 5 undertakes the issue of the Decadent movement and the Restoration. The sixth and final chapter describes the poetry and the poets related to the concept “art for art’s sake.” The uniqueness of the book rests on the combination of the balanced analyses of literary sources and original period documents and archival material of Real Academia Española concerning the issues of art and morals, along with a reflection about the historical, philosophical and ideological context of the matter. Since this kind of profound knowledge united with the ability to write both persuasively and interestingly is rare, the book by Mansberger Amorós is an enlightening reading experience not only for specialists on the topic, but also for all those interested in the history of Spanish literature and ideas.

The article is dedicated to the problem of urban marginalisation of the elderly reflected in literature. Through an evolutionary comparative approach, the treatment of the subject is shown in an Argentine novel by Ana María Shua, La muerte como efecto secundario, published in 1997, and a Spanish novel from the year 2020, Los ancianos siderales, by Luis Mateo Díez. Both books, concentrated around the issue of residential homes, can be perceived as prose of social denunciation. However, they represent different aesthetics and styles: an epistolary narrative in the form of a long monologue in the Argentine novel, belonging to the current of future anticipation fiction; and a choral literature of fractal aesthetics in the most recent book by the Spanish author, marked by a surrealist and oneiric approach. The article offers a comparison of the images of senectitude in both novels, then of the representations of care homes and, finally, describes the characteristics of the societies that allow and support this abusive system.
