«Doña Berta» is the short novel by Leopoldo Alas «Clarín», published by Punto de Lectura in paperback (128 pages, in Spanish).
Doña Berta, the last of the Rondaliegos, receives a visit from a painter who awakens in her memories of youth and the possibility of repairing an old guilt. What seemed like a quiet old age becomes an episode with quixotic resonances.
Doña Berta was originally published in 1892; this edition appeared in 2001 within the collection Obras maestras de la novela corta.
For readers of Spanish classics, especially short narrative from the late nineteenth century.
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.
