«Pepita Jiménez» is the novel by Juan Valera, published by Edicomunicación in hardback (160 pages, in Spanish).
Luis de Vargas, a young seminarian, returns to his Andalusian village and meets Pepita Jiménez, a young widow who awakens in him an unexpected love. From that conflict, the novel explores the tension between religious vocation and desire, and portrays the social conventions of rural 19th-century Spain with irony and sensitivity.
The work was originally published in 1874 and was translated into several languages; this edition is from 1997.
For readers of Spanish and 19th-century classics who appreciate love stories and reflection on faith and desire.
Juan Valera y Alcalá-Galiano was a Spanish realist author, diplomat, and politician.
