«La Regenta» is the realist novel by Leopoldo Alas «Clarín», published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (952 pages, in Spanish).
Ana Ozores lives married to the former regent of Vetusta, a much older man, and feels suffocated by the routine of a provincial city. Seeking a full life, she turns to religion and a local seducer, while her confessor Fermín de Pas becomes obsessed with her; the novel portrays the hypocrisy of nineteenth-century society.
Work originally published in 1884 and 1885. This edition, published in 1998, includes a prologue by Ricardo Gullón and is part of the El Libro de Bolsillo-Literatura collection.
For readers of Spanish literature classics and nineteenth-century realist novels.
Leopoldo Enrique García-Alas y Ureña, also known as Clarín, was a Spanish realist novelist and journalist born in Zamora. His inflammatory articles, known as paliques (“chitchat”), as well as his advocacy of liberalism and anti-clericalism, made him a formidable and controversial critical voice. He died in Oviedo.
