La Regenta, the masterpiece by Leopoldo Alas «Clarín», is a narrative fresco of Spanish society at the end of the 19th century. The story focuses on Ana Ozores, a woman married to the former Regent of the Audience of Vetusta (a reflection of Oviedo), who is courted by the Don Juan Álvaro Mesía and the canon magistrate, who also falls in love with her. This edition of Penguin Clásicos, by Gregorio Torres Nebrera, includes an introduction, notes, chronology and essential bibliography to understand the work.
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.
