«La Regenta» is the realist novel by Leopoldo Alas «Clarín», published by S. A. de Promoción y Ediciones in two paperback volumes, in Spanish.
In Vetusta, a provincial city inspired by Oviedo and a reflection of Spain in the last third of the 19th century, Ana Ozores, married to an older man, is torn between desire and morality. The canon Fermín de Pas nurtures a passion for her while the novel portrays the hypocrisy, gossip and social conventions of a closed community.
The work was originally published in 1884. This edition has 744 pages, includes a prologue by Ricardo Gullón and is part of the Biblioteca del Estudiante collection.
A key work of Spanish realism, intended for readers seeking a classic of 19th-century narrative.
Leopoldo Enrique García-Alas y Ureña, also known as Clarín, was a Spanish realist novelist and journalist born in Zamora. His inflammatory articles, known as paliques (“chitchat”), as well as his advocacy of liberalism and anti-clericalism, made him a formidable and controversial critical voice. He died in Oviedo.
