«El señor llega» is the first novel in the trilogy "Los gozos y las sombras", written by Gonzalo Torrente Ballester. The story narrates the return of Carlos Deza to Pueblanueva del Conde, a Galician town, after a long absence. Carlos is one of the last descendants of the most aristocratic family in the place, whose hegemony is challenged by Cayetano Salgado, an enriched bourgeois. The novel establishes the rivalries that give shape to the work, presenting characters such as doña Mariana, Rosario "la Galana", and Clara and Juan Aldán, in a feudal Galicia during the turbulent years of the Republic.
Gonzalo Torrente Ballester was a Spanish writer associated with the Generation of '36 movement.
