Description

The Venezuelan writer Manuel Díaz Rodríguez (1871-1927) is associated with Modernismo in both his themes and language. His novel, Ídolos rotos, explores the destruction of ideals through the slow erosion of its protagonist's beliefs and those of the other characters. The title reflects this central theme: the gradual disintegration of ideals as the artist struggles against ignorance, vulgarity, and materialism in a world that fails to understand him. The result is a sense of frustration both physically and spiritually. This novella showcases Díaz Rodríguez's modernist style, which rejects a world that produces only discontent, dissatisfaction, and disillusionment among its artists. Published in 2009, Ídolos rotos offers a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition through the lens of Modernismo.
