«El velo alzado» is the short novel by George Eliot published by Alba Editorial in paperback (111 pages, in Spanish).
George Eliot wrote this short story in 1859, between psychological study and horror tale. Its rarity meant her publishers took two decades to publish it; over the years it has come to be considered a singular work by George Eliot, author of Middlemarch.
Translation by José Luis López Muñoz, in the Clásica collection. George Eliot lived between 1819 and 1880.
For readers of classic fiction and for those seeking stories with an atmosphere of mystery and horror.
Mary Ann Evans, known by her pen name George Eliot, was an English novelist, poet, journalist, translator, and one of the leading writers of the Victorian era. She wrote seven novels: Adam Bede (1859), The Mill on the Floss (1860), Silas Marner (1861), Romola (1862–1863), Felix Holt, the Radical (1866), Middlemarch (1871–1872) and Daniel Deronda (1876). Her novels are known for their realism, psychological insight, sense of place, and detailed depiction of the countryside. Middlemarch was described by the novelist Virginia Woolf as "one of the few English novels written for grown-up people" and by Martin Amis and Julian Barnes as the greatest novel in the English language.
