«Flor de mayo» is the novel by Spanish writer Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (223 pages, in Spanish).
The action takes place in a fishing community near Valencia and focuses on the lives of its people: the struggle to make a living at sea, family tensions and emotional conflicts. Blasco Ibáñez combines a costumbrista portrait with a realistic and naturalistic gaze, attentive to humble characters and their surroundings.
The work was originally published in 1895; this 1998 Círculo de Lectores edition includes a prologue by Manuel Vicent.
Readers of Spanish literature and classics will find here a representative work of Valencian costumbrismo.
Valencian novelist and politician, author of La Barraca, Reeds and Mud and The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, a major international bestseller of his day.
