«Bearn o la sala de las muñecas» is the novel by Lorenzo Villalonga, published by Seix Barral in hardback (316 pages, in Spanish).
The novel narrates the decline of a Mallorcan aristocratic family in the nineteenth century, with a focus on passionate love, the passage of time and conjugal serenity. It pits enlightened reason against clerical superstition and the mystery of the Rosicrucians, in a work that has been compared to The Leopard.
The work was originally published in Catalan in 1956 as «Bearn o la sala de les nines» and was awarded the Premi de la Crítica de Narrativa Catalana in 1962.
For readers of twentieth-century classics, interested in Catalan literature and the decline of the aristocracy.
