«La Universal» is the historical novel by Toti Martínez de Lezea, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (280 pages, in Spanish).
Set in early 20th-century Spain, the novel portrays a country divided between tradition and modernity, shaken by workers' revolts and the rise of anarchism. At the La Universal boarding house, its owner, Antonio Ozaeta, brings together a group of marginal guests: a lawyer with no future, a frustrated anarchist, a former prostitute, a clairvoyant, and an unemployed teacher. To escape their precarious situation, they decide to set up a circus company while the lawyer Ignacio Wallinstein investigates the disappearance of a client, a case that uncovers the secret of Miss Beltrán.
Novel by Basque author Toti Martínez de Lezea, published in 2010 in a hardback edition with dust jacket.
