Three essays

The works compiled in this volume were originally written as contributions to the different commemorations that María Zambrano, Pablo Neruda or the publication of the first part of Don Quixote starred in during 2004 and 2005.

The essay on María Zambrano is titled "Feminine Writing: Zambrano," and in it the author focuses on the writer to attempt to identify the feminine characteristics of her work. García Ramos argues at the outset that "there is a feminine universe and a masculine universe. Not so much because of the physics and chemistry of bodies, but because of the physics and chemistry of the culture in which men and women are born, grow, and are formed." The author delves into these gender differences, also alluding to the works of Marguerite Yourcenar and Marguerite Duras.

The second work in the book is "Pablo Neruda: Frontiers of the Poetic and the Political," and it aims to answer a question posed by the essay: "At what point did Pablo Neruda definitively perceive that for his literature man should be central and not nature, which had so heavily influenced his early verses?".

The volume concludes with a work that relates the existing parallels between the novel by Gabriel García Márquez One Hundred Years of Solitude y Don Quijote of La Mancha, by Miguel de Cervantes. The work analyzes both works "from the point of view of the 'narrator' who brings us these stories; from the presence of 'destiny' as the axis of the lives that are narrated" and from the "space founded by fiction (Macondo and La Mancha).".
