La Regenta is a novel by the Spanish writer Leopoldo Alas "Clarín", published in 1884 and 1885. The work tells the story of Ana Ozores, an unsatisfied woman who lives in the city of Vetusta and seeks to fill the void in her life through mysticism and love. Considered one of the most important works of 19th century Spanish literature, La Regenta offers a scathing critique of the society of the time and explores themes such as adultery, religion and power.
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.
