The Trembling of the Veil

A sequence of autobiographical essays recounts the author's early artistic development, suburban family life, and participation in literary and aesthetic circles, juxtaposing personal reminiscence with reflections on changing artistic movements. He examines friendships, romantic and social encounters, and the tension between poetic tradition and contemporary trends, offering portraits of peers and candid appraisals of shifting tastes. Political events and national controversies appear as background that reshapes cultural life, while later sections trace philosophical and mystical preoccupations, loss, and the sense of a generation passing. The work mixes narrative episodes with meditative passages on art, memory, and the spiritual impulses that informed his work.
