«Tigre Juan. El curandero de su honra» is the novel by Ramón Pérez de Ayala, published by Ediciones Nobel in hardback (264 pages, in Spanish).
Set in Asturias, the novel reflects with irony on love, honour and cultural identity. The landscape and motifs of Asturian mythology carry central weight, and in its course the meaning and future of the novelistic genre are questioned.
The work was originally published in 1926 and won the National Literature Prize. It belongs to the Tigre Juan series (parts 1-2) and to the Biblioteca Básica de Autores Asturianos collection.
For readers of classic Spanish fiction and twentieth-century Asturian literature.
Leopoldo Enrique García-Alas y Ureña, also known as Clarín, was a Spanish realist novelist and journalist born in Zamora. His inflammatory articles, known as paliques (“chitchat”), as well as his advocacy of liberalism and anti-clericalism, made him a formidable and controversial critical voice. He died in Oviedo.
