Lyric Poetry

"La emperatriz del Rastro", de Emilio Carrère, es una historia de amor, pasiones y crimen en el Madrid de principios del siglo XX, pero es también una historia del popular Rastro madrileño y de las gentes humildes que lo habitan y que se ganan la vida en sus márgenes. El autor nos sumerge en los ambientes castizos, con sus tipos, su habla, sus luces y sombras, sus miserias y sueños, de manera que el pueblo de Madrid se convierte en protagonista de la narración tanto como los personajes principales del drama.

Publicada por primera vez en 1927 en la colección "La Novela de Hoy" de la editorial Atlántida, con ilustraciones de Izquierdo Durán, "La emperatriz del Rastro" es una obra muy poco conocida pero que, por sus valores literarios y el retrato social y humano que realiza, merece ser reivindicada como un buen ejemplo de la novela popular que tan bien cultivó Emilio Carrère.

Emilio Carrère's “La emperatriz del Rastro” is a story of love, passions and crime in Madrid at the beginning of the 20th century, but it is also a story of the popular Rastro street market and the humble people who inhabit it and make a living on its margins. The author immerses us in the popular soul of Madrid, with its characters, its popular language, its lights and shadows, its miseries and dreams, so that the people of Madrid become the protagonist of the narrative as much as the main characters of the drama.

First published in 1927 in the collection “La Novela de Hoy” of the publishing house Atlántida, with illustrations by Izquierdo Durán, “La emperatriz del Rastro” is a very little known work but, for its literary values and the social and human portrait it makes, it deserves to be vindicated as a good example of the popular novel that Emilio Carrère cultivated so well.
