«La Duquesa de Alba» is the biography of Carmen Güell, published by La Esfera de los Libros in hardcover (240 pages, in Spanish).
It portrays María del Pilar Teresa Cayetana de Silva y Álvarez de Toledo, thirteenth Duchess of Alba (1762-1802), heiress to one of Spain's most illustrious noble houses. The work traces her life between the courtly salons of Queen María Luisa de Parma and the working-class districts of Madrid, where she crossed paths with majas, tonadillera singers and bullfighters. It also addresses her relationship with Goya, for whom she was a muse and perhaps a lover, her clash with Godoy, and the circumstances of her early death, shrouded in suspicion of suicide or murder.
The book belongs to the Historia Divulgativa collection, number 6, and includes bibliography and illustrations.
