Abstract


Hablando con los descendientes (Talking to descendants) is a compendium of interviews made to the descendants of the most outstanding artists –especially– the ones in the Romantic period. It is related to the customs articles and the journalistic report. In this compilation, Colombine is usually capable to see the general facts although she felt overwhelmed by the particular details that’s why so many times she lost her way and quibble and focussed on the mere anecdotes of the stars’ life. She carried out the categorization of the characters and like in Mesonero’s, the ways of living are much more important than the ways of being. Touched by the positivism and the rationalism the author defended the importance of each man’s own vital experience. She had felt fascinated by the material progress in the modern society anyway she seemed to glimpse the need to give this project an alternative lead by the virtue. We find a humanistic idealism of moral codes “hobnobbing” the past tradition as this one is considered a valid option in order to form the new standards in the present time.
