«Bearn o la sala de las muñecas» is the novel by Lorenzo Villalonga, published by Editorial Seix Barral in hardback (252 pages, in Spanish).
The priest Don Joan recounts the decline of the Bearns, a 19th-century Mallorcan aristocratic lineage: Don Toni and Maria Antònia, cousins and spouses, live in a run-down mansion marked by secrets and by Don Toni's free and anticlerical character. It is a portrait of the end of a class and the clash between tradition and modernity.
The novel was originally published in 1956. This 1983 edition includes an introduction by Baltasar Porcel and the cover states «Única edición íntegra del original castellano del autor».
For readers of classic fiction and Spanish narrative who value period portraits and social criticism.
