Abstract
In this study, we will focus on the columnism of Almudena Grandes and Javier Marías, two brilliant contemporary writers and undisputed Spanish stylists, in order to find the points of convergence and divergence in their idiostyles. Our article can be perceived as a small tribute to brilliant authors and true columnists, whose long and fruitful collaboration with “El País Semanal” was an important milestone both in their personal careers and a real pleasure for their loyal readers. Their columns were distinguished by originality and genuineness, sharpness of thoughts, positions, ideas, unique originality of their authorial styles. Their journalistic work is unique due to the refined and balanced style. Frank assessment combined with inherent emotionality – negative in the case of J. Marias' columns and more balanced in the case of A. Grandes – constitute another focus of attention. The subtle combination of styles, the peculiarity of their artistic prose, colored with "splashes" of colloquial style, unite the work of these unique and inimitable columnists, whose "opinion journalism" so captivated the readership.
