Originally published in 1874, this masterpiece by Pedro Antonio de Alarcón is a benchmark of Spanish realism. Set in a town in Granada during the reign of Charles IV, the novel tells an ingenious and amusing story of romantic entanglements involving a commander who tries to win over a married woman. Its popularity transcended literature, inspiring composer Manuel de Falla to create a famous ballet that premiered in London in 1919.
