Commonsensical Determinism: A Reconsideration of Pereda's De tal palo, tal astilla.
- Authors
Brown, Daniel
- Abstract
A literary criticism of the book "De tal palo, tal astilla" by José María de Pereda is presented. It examines how the preface of the book redefines the concept of realism which is deemed essential for the interpretation of the novel. It analyzes the author's implicit recognition on the validity of environmental and hereditary determinism. It also explores the themes of nature and death in the novel.
