Un mundo dentro del mundo de Stephen Spender
"Un mundo dentro del mundo, la célebre autobiografía de Stephen Spender, contiene vívidos retratos de Virginia Woolf, W.B. Yeats, T.S. Eliot, Auden o Cristopher Isherwood, y una fascinante descripción de la Europa de los años veinte y treinta: el frío brillo de la vida universitaria inglesa, el desenfreno erótico y cultural de la Alemania de entreguerras, y un relato distanciado y personalísimo de la participación del autor en la guerra civil española."
