«La Regenta Tomo II» is the realist novel by Leopoldo Alas Clarín, published by Edilibro in hardback (352 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Ana Ozores, married to an older man, in Vetusta, a fictional city evoking Oviedo. Unsatisfied, she wavers between religious devotion and attraction to other men, in a portrait of provincial hypocrisy and conventions, marked by the psychological complexity of its characters.
The complete work was originally published in two volumes, in 1884 and 1885; this copy is volume II, corresponding to the 1998 edition.
For readers of Spanish realist fiction and 19th-century classics.
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.
