«El vicario de Wakefield» is the novel by Oliver Goldsmith published by Colección Pepe Navarro in hardcover, with 312 pages in Spanish.
The novel follows the kind-hearted and somewhat pedantic vicar Primrose and his family in rural eighteenth-century England. Ruined financially, he experiences a succession of misfortunes —deceptions, unrequited loves, abductions and duels— while maintaining hope and trust in a happy ending.
Work originally published in 1766. This Spanish edition, released in 2001, includes the translation by Felipe Villaverde.
Recommended for readers of eighteenth-century English literary classics.
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).
