"Corazón de España" by Augusto Centeno, published by Holt, Rinehart and Winston in 1957, is a unique exploration of Spanish literature, offering a vivid portrayal of the country's rich narrative traditions. This edition, with illustrations by Ruth Talovich, is notable for its cover design inspired by a Hispano-Moresque plate from the 15th century, courtesy of the Hispanic Society of America. Centeno, associated with Connecticut College, provides a scholarly yet accessible journey through Spain's literary heart. This book is manufactured in the United States and is an important resource for those interested in Spanish cultural history. The absence of a dust jacket and the visible wear on the hardcover add to its vintage appeal, making it a desirable piece for collectors and enthusiasts of historical literature.
