Summary "De Sobremesa; crónicas, Tercera Parte (de 5)" by Jacinto Benavente is a collection of chronicle essays written in the early 20th century. This work reflects on various social and cultural issues of the time, particularly in Spain, through a blend of humor and sharp observation. Benavente, an influential figure in Spanish literature, uses his essays to critique the society around him, touching on themes such as fashion, politics, and the theater, while often highlighting the absurdities and contradictions of contemporary life. The opening of this work introduces the reader to an array of topics, starting with a humorous commentary on a fashion strike among American women that has wider implications for society and personal relationships. Benavente reflects on the implications of the strike, noting potential consequences for marital dynamics and societal structures. He also shares his contemplations on the passing of time with the New Year and the nature of hope, while providing witty critiques of literary contests and the cultural scene of Madrid. Benavente's voice is both engaging and poignant, setting the stage for a blend of comedy and serious observation that characterizes this series of chronicles.
