«Los Grope» is the comic novel by Tom Sharpe, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
Los Grope, an ancient English lineage owning Grope Hall, descends from Ursula, a maid who found a deserting Viking. Since then, a fierce matriarchy prevails where men only procreate. When the shy Esmond Wiley is kidnapped by his aunt Belinda and taken to the mansion, an absurd and politically incorrect battle of the sexes erupts.
First edition in 2009. Translation by Gemma Rovira. Number 196 of Anagrama's Contraseñas collection.
Aimed at readers who appreciate acerbic humour and uncompromising social satire.
Thomas Ridley Sharpe was an English satirical novelist, best known for his Wilt series, as well as Porterhouse Blue and Blott on the Landscape, all three of which were adapted for television.
