«La Regenta» is the novel by Spanish writer Leopoldo Alas «Clarín», published by LIBSA EDITORIAL in hardback (668 pages, in Spanish).
Ana Ozores, a young woman married to a much older magistrate, navigates the tedium of Vetusta, a provincial city ruled by gossip. Between religious devotion and the advances of a womanizer, the protagonist tries to fill her void, while the author ironically portrays the bourgeoisie and ecclesiastical influence in 19th-century Spain.
The novel was originally published between 1884 and 1885, and this edition belongs to the Grandes Clásicos collection.
For readers of 19th-century Spanish literary classics, interested in naturalism and social criticism 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.
