«Arroz y tartana» is the novel by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (298 pages, in Spanish).
In nineteenth-century Valencia, a bourgeois family tries to maintain a lifestyle beyond its means to keep up appearances; the craving for luxury and rigidity in the face of change lead it to ruin. Blasco Ibáñez turns that decline into a critique of Valencian society and of a class unable to adapt to new times.
Work originally published in 1894. This 1978 edition belongs to the Varia collection.
Valencian novelist and politician, author of La Barraca, Reeds and Mud and The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, a major international bestseller of his day.
