Luis de Vargas, a young seminarian, returns to his hometown before taking holy orders and meets Pepita Jiménez, a young and attractive widow. An attraction arises between them that clashes with Luis's religious vocation and the social conventions of the environment, in a portrait of rural Spanish life in the 19th century.
It belongs to the Clásica collection (no. 1) and includes an introduction by Andrés Amorós. The first edition of the novel dates from 1874.
For readers of classic Spanish fiction and for students of 19th-century literature.
Juan Valera y Alcalá-Galiano was a Spanish realist author, diplomat, and politician.
