Antonio Buero Vallejo (Guadalajara, 1916-Madrid, 2002) is one of the most profound Spanish playwrights since Calderón de la Barca. Vicente Soto (Valencia, 1919-Madrid, 2011) was a short story writer, novelist, who went into exile in London, received the Nadal Prize in 1966, and yet remains one of the great forgotten figures of Spanish literature.

This volume gathers the unpublished correspondence between Buero and Vicente Soto, two writers and intellectual friends who intermix art with everyday life. History, politics, yoga, oriental philosophies and life advice are intermingled in more than forty years of Spanish history, in addition to the sentimental narrative of this friendship.

Domingo Ródenas (Cehegín, Murcia, 1963), professor at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona and literary critic, was in charge of the selection of texts and author of the prologue to this volume, published to commemorate the centenary of the birth of Buero Vallejo.
