«El vicario de Wakefield» is the novel by Irish writer Oliver Goldsmith published by Orbis Fabbri in hardback (187 pages, in Spanish).
The story follows the vicar Primrose, a generous and somewhat pedantic man, and his family. His financial ruin triggers a series of misfortunes —deceptions, unrequited loves, abductions and duels— that test his integrity and his faith. Written with humour and tenderness, the novel is a reflection on virtue, resilience and the strength of family bonds in the face of adversity.
This 1991 edition belongs to the Literatura collection; the volume has a format of 22x14 cm.
For readers of eighteenth-century literature who appreciate family stories with humour and tenderness in the face of adversity.
Oliver Goldsmith was an Anglo-Irish poet, novelist, playwright, and hack writer. He produced literary works in a variety of genres and is regarded as one of the most versatile writers of the Georgian era. His works are known for their realistic depictions of British society, and his comedy plays for the English stage are considered second in importance only to those of playwright William Shakespeare. Credited with introducing sentimentalism in English literature in 18th-century Great Britain, several of Goldsmith's publications are popular classics of the period, including his only novel, The Vicar of Wakefield (1766), and the comedy play She Stoops to Conquer (1773).
