The novel is a realist critique of nineteenth-century bourgeoisie.
Work originally published in 1856. This edition belongs to the Biblioteca de Clásicos Universales collection and includes the translation by Carmen Martín Gaite.
Aimed at readers of universal classics and nineteenth-century realist fiction.
