«Peñas arriba» is the novel by José María de Pereda, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (576 pages, in Spanish).
The action takes place in rural Cantabria: a young man raised in the city settles in his father's village and discovers a world marked by nature and traditions. With a bucolic and regionalist tone, Pereda contrasts the simplicity of the Mountain with urban apathy, in a work that culminates his conception of narrative realism.
Originally published in 1895, this Cátedra edition is the 4th, edited by Antonio Rey, in the Letras Hispánicas collection (no. 259).
For readers interested in the Spanish realist and costumbrista novel of the 19th century and in the Letras Hispánicas collection.
José María de Pereda y Sánchez de Porrúa was a Spanish novelist, and a Member of the Royal Spanish Academy.
