The Spaniards of the three worlds. Dedicated to Huan Ramon Jimenezu

“Spain is a literary power. In the 17th century, she gave the world the greatest geniuses of mankind: Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Kevedo. In the 20th century, the ruler of the minds became the Spanish philosopher Ortega-i-Gasset, the whole world admired the prose and poetry of the Argentines of Borges and Cortasar, Colombian Garcia Marquez. We will not forget those great representatives of Spain and Spanish America, who visited or lived in other countries, leaving a deep mark in the history and culture of other peoples, and which the history and culture of these peoples changed and enriched, and sometimes determined their fate. Let us recall at least Jose de Ribas - Joseph Deribas, the Spaniard by origin, military and statesman, founder of Odessa. About them and many other outstanding Spaniards and Latin American residents are discussed in my book. ” Vsevolod Bagno
