Explore "Youth and Egolatry" by Pio Baroja on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
A certain Basque writer, one Senor de Loyarte, who is a member of several academies, and Royal Commissioner of Education, assails me violently upon social grounds in a book which he has published, although the attack is veiled as purely literary.
Senor de Loyarte is soporific as a general rule, but in his polite sortie against me, he is more amusing than is usual. His malice is so keen that it very nearly causes him to appear intelligent.
