Summary

"El artículo de fondo" es un divertido cuento de Benito Pérez Galdós en el que se asoma al mundo del periodismo, que tan bien conoció. Mientras un joven periodista redacta un artículo de fondo sobre sesudas cuestiones de actualidad, las circunstancias de su vida y su estado de ánimo van condicionado su mirada. Como siempre, el autor presenta personajes humanos y verosímiles, y mezcla con humor temas serios con las pequeñas cosas que tanto importan. Además, como en otros cuentos, el autor da rienda suelta a su creatividad y aborda cuestiones que tanto le interesaron siempre, como el amor o la denuncia de una sociedad anquilosada, cuya necesaria regeneración pasa por la rebeldía juvenil.

Diseño de portada: David Rubiales Suárez.

"El artículo de fondo" ("the feature article") is a funny story by Benito Pérez Galdós in which he looks into the world of journalism, which he knew so well. While a young journalist writes a feature article on serious current issues, the circumstances of his life and his state of mind condition his view. As always, the author presents human and credible characters, and humorously mixes serious themes with the little things that matter so much. Furthermore, as in other short stories, the author gives free rein to his creativity and addresses issues that have always interested him so much, such as love or the denunciation of an ossified society, whose necessary regeneration needs youth rebellion.
