En este artículo la buscaremos en algunos autores, intentaremos acercarnos a ella a través de obras que han marcado la historia de la literatura universal. Melancolía, tele y literatura Hace unos días me preguntaba por qué razón en la tele pasan tantas series de época: “Toledo”, “Águila Roja”, “Hispania”, “etc”. La respuesta es el éxito, porque todo lo que perdura más de una temporada en la televisión le debe su permanencia a este factor.
