«Bearn o La sala de las muñecas» is the novel by Lorenzo Villalonga, published by Seix Barral in paperback (316 pages, in Spanish).
Set in nineteenth-century Mallorca, it narrates the decline of aristocrats don Toni and doña Maria Antònia Bearn through the account of the naive priest don Joan, who enters their service as confessor. Amid Parisian splendours, secret rooms and challenges to ecclesiastical authority, the novel portrays the clash between a traditional world in extinction and new times, with a gaze between condemnation and fascination towards the libertine don Toni.
It belongs to Seix Barral's Literatura Contemporánea collection, number 11. Work originally published in 1956.
For readers interested in twentieth-century Spanish fiction and stories of aristocratic decline with a historical backdrop.
