«El vicario de Wakefield» is the novel by Oliver Goldsmith published by Editorial Magisterio Español in paperback (245 pages, in Spanish).
Charles Primrose, a generous and somewhat pedantic vicar, is the protagonist of the story. His financial ruin drags his family into a succession of misfortunes: deceptions, unrequited loves, abductions and duels, until a sudden denouement. With humor and tenderness, the novel portrays virtue, innocence and resilience in the face of adversity.
Original title: «The Vicar of Wakefield». Belongs to the Colección Novelas y Cuentos, no. 199. Foreword by Esteban Pujals; translation and presentation by M.ª Isabel González del Campo.
For those who enjoy classic English literature and eighteenth-century novels in Spanish.
Oliver Goldsmith was an Anglo-Irish poet, novelist, playwright, and hack writer. He produced literary works in a variety of genres and is regarded as one of the most versatile writers of the Georgian era. His works are known for their realistic depictions of British society, and his comedy plays for the English stage are considered second in importance only to those of playwright William Shakespeare. Credited with introducing sentimentalism in English literature in 18th-century Great Britain, several of Goldsmith's publications are popular classics of the period, including his only novel, The Vicar of Wakefield (1766), and the comedy play She Stoops to Conquer (1773).
