«Vicios ancestrales» is the satirical novel by British writer Tom Sharpe, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (275 pages, in Spanish).
An English tycoon plots revenge on his relatives and partners and commissions a naive, left-wing university professor to write his family's history. The plot descends into chaos: an automatic wheelchair comes to life, there are erotic misunderstandings, and an involuntary crime points to an innocent man.
Work originally published as Ancestral Vices in 1980; this 1988 Spanish edition includes a translation by Antonio Mauri.
For those who appreciate British satire and absurd humour, with outlandish situations and misunderstandings.
Thomas Ridley Sharpe was an English satirical novelist, best known for his Wilt series, as well as Porterhouse Blue and Blott on the Landscape, all three of which were adapted for television.
