«La Alpujarra» is the travel account by Pedro Antonio de Alarcón, published by Editoriales Andaluzas Unidas in paperback (563 pages, in Spanish).
Pedro Antonio de Alarcón recounts his journey through the Granada region of La Alpujarra, on horseback and by stagecoach, with descriptions of landscapes, villages and customs. His impressions intertwine with historical episodes, such as Boabdil's farewell to Granada, and offer a literary portrait of rural 19th-century Andalusia.
This edition is number 1 of the Colección Andalucía eterna and reproduces in facsimile the first edition of 1874 (Madrid: Miguel Guijarro).
For readers of Spanish classics and travel literature, and for those who want to discover La Alpujarra and 19th-century Andalusia.
Pedro Antonio de Alarcón y Ariza was a nineteenth-century Spanish novelist, known best for his novel El sombrero de tres picos (1874), an adaptation of popular traditions which provides a description of village life in Alarcón's native region of Andalusia. It was the basis for Hugo Wolf's opera Der Corregidor (1897); for Riccardo Zandonai's opera La farsa amorosa (1933); and Manuel de Falla's ballet The Three-Cornered Hat (1919).
