«Los Grope» is Tom Sharpe's satirical novel, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
The Grope dynasty is born when Ursula, a maid, finds a deserting Viking and takes him home; since then it has been a fierce matriarchy whose men either devote themselves to sacrilege or are sent to sea. In the 21st century, timid Esmond Wiley arrives at Grope Hall, kidnapped by his aunt Belinda, and unleashes a satire of the battle of the sexes.
It is volume 542 of Anagrama's Compactos collection, in its second edition, translated by Gemma Rovira.
A recommended read for those seeking unflinching satire and irreverent British humour.
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.
