«El bastardo recalcitrante» is the black comedy novel by Tom Sharpe, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (312 pages, in Spanish).
Lockhart Flawse grows up isolated in the mountains of Scotland with no legal identity, alongside a grandfather of uncontrollable appetites who calls him only «el bastardo». When the old man organises a cruise in search of a companion and with the idea of getting rid of his grandson, Lockhart meets Jessica Sandicott and marries her, while the grandfather, at ninety, marries the young woman's mother. From those weddings emerges Lockhart's true nature, as he wages a ruthless and hilarious battle against those who want to take from him what he considers his own.
