Originally published in 1904, "Confessions of a Little Philosopher" (Las confesiones de un pequeño filósofo) is a classic of modern Spanish literature by Azorín, the mastermind behind Spain's influential "Generation of '98" (translated by Hassan Boutakka).
Rejecting rigid chronological biography, the book presents a series of luminous, poetic vignettes of childhood and youth in a quiet Spanish town.

Azorín transforms simple memories into a profound meditation on human perception.
