«La Gaviota» is the novel of manners by Fernán Caballero, published by Castalia Ediciones in paperback (350 pages, in Spanish).
Fernán Caballero presents herself as a mere compiler of true stories, and La Gaviota brings together a mosaic of Spanish popular culture: tales, couplets, traditions, romances, games, dances, anecdotes and proverbs intertwine within a narrative of marked costumbrista and folkloric character.
This edition, number 95 of the Clásicos Castalia collection, includes edition, introduction and notes by Carmen Bravo-Villasante, as well as a bibliography and a critical judgment by Eugenio de Ochoa. Annotated edition of 1979.
For readers of nineteenth-century Spanish literature, students and those who wish to approach a classic of costumbrismo with critical apparatus.
Fernán Caballero was the pseudonym of Spanish novelist Cecilia Francisca Josefa Böhl de Faber y Ruiz de Larrea. She was the daughter of German writer Johann Nikolaus Böhl von Faber and Spanish writer Frasquita Larrea. Her pen name was taken from the name of a village in the province of Ciudad Real.
