«Arroz y tartana» is the novel by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (298 pages, in Spanish).
In nineteenth-century Valencia, a bourgeois family tries to maintain a lifestyle beyond its means to keep up appearances; the craving for luxury and rigidity in the face of change lead it to ruin. Blasco Ibáñez turns that decline into a critique of Valencian society and of a class unable to adapt to new times.
Work originally published in 1894. This 1978 edition belongs to the Varia collection.
Novelista y político valenciano, autor de La barraca, Cañas y barro y Los cuatro jinetes del Apocalipsis, gran superventas internacional de su tiempo.
