«El secuestro de mamá y otros relatos del marqués de Sotoancho» is the collection of humorous stories by Alfonso Ussía, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (168 pages, in Spanish).
The book brings together the adventures of the Marqués de Sotoancho and his circle at La Jaralera over the course of a year: a hunting day with Prince Raimiero, the marqués's visit to a brothel, and the kidnapping of the marquesa, whom the kidnappers end up returning because they cannot stand her. The title story, previously unpublished, portrays the pettiness, cunning, obsessions and fears of Susú and Mamá with the author's characteristic satirical humor.
Second volume in the «Memorias del marqués de Sotoancho» series, with illustrations by Barca.
Recommended for readers seeking satirical humor and social criticism with eccentric aristocratic characters and absurd situations.
