Abstract
The reader is offered an extensive overview of the 10th- to 20th-c. Spanish and Latin American literature. The book considers not only preeminent authors like Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Márquez, and Cortázar, but also those known only to scholars — like R. Llull, J. de Espronceda, and J. Valera. Thanks to the author’s impressive cultural erudition, the book demonstrates the numerous comparative connections of Spanish-speaking writers with world literature. Thus, without Cervantes’ Don Quixote, neither Dostoevsky, nor Cortázar, nor Márquez would have written their novels. A Russian reader will be especially interested in Russo-Spanish connections, as their study is also included in the scope of Bagno’s research. In this regard, particularly interesting is the analysis of Lope de Vega’s play about False Dmitry I El Gran Duque de Moscovia. Another exciting topic discussed in the book is the story of Spaniards who developed strong ties to Russia, like Odessa’s founder J. de Ribas and the Spanish ambassador in the 19th-c. Petersburg J. Valera.
