Explore "Youth and Egolatry" by Pio Baroja on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
A few days after the publication of my first book, _Sombre Lives_, Miguel Poveda, who was responsible for printing it, sent a copy to Martinez Ruiz, who was at that time in Monovar. Martinez Ruiz wrote me a long letter concerning the book by return mail; on the following day he sent another.
Poveda handed me the letters to read and I was filled with surprise and joy. Some weeks later, returning from the National Library, Martinez Ruiz, whom I knew by sight, came up to me on the Recoletos.
