«Pepita Jiménez» is the novel by Juan Valera published by Castalia Ediciones in paperback (286 pages, in Spanish).
The seminarian Luis de Vargas returns to his Andalusian village before being ordained and meets Pepita Jiménez, a young widow. Between Luis and Pepita an attraction arises that pits his religious vocation against earthly love, in a story about faith, desire and rural nineteenth-century society. The work combines letters, paralipomena and an epilogue.

Edition designed for students approaching the classics and for readers seeking didactic support.
