«La Regenta» is the novel by Leopoldo Alas «Clarín», published by FisicalBook in hardback (800 pages, in Spanish).
Ana Ozores, married without love to an older man, tries to escape a monotonous existence in Vetusta, a provincial city where everything is known and everything is judged. Between passion and duty, the protagonist wavers while the narrator portrays the hypocrisy, appearances and repression of a closed 19th-century society.
The novel was originally published in 1884 and 1885 and is considered a central work of 19th-century Spanish literature; this edition is from 2001.
For readers looking for the great classics of Spanish literature and who want to approach the 19th-century novel.
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.
