Produced by Chuck Greif and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (from scans available at Google Books) "Páginas escogidas" by Armando Palacio Valdés is a collection of selected writings crafted during the late 19th century. The work appears to serve as a compilation of insightful reflections, critiques, and personal anecdotes from the author’s literary journey. It combines elements of self-exploration with broader commentary on literature, society, and artistic freedom. The opening of the book reveals the author’s ambivalence about publishing a selection of his works, suggesting that such honor is typically reserved for the deceased. Valdés shares personal reflections on his unexpected journey into novel writing instead of pursuing a career in philosophy or politics. He emphasizes his desire for literary independence and freedom from imposed styles and trends, addressing various constraints that writers face, such as adherence to popular fashion, the influence of other literati, and expectations from the public. The text conveys the author's struggle between his ambitions and the realities of being a contemporary writer while hinting at deeper personal connections and struggles that inform his perspective.
