«La Regenta - Volumen I» is the novel by Leopoldo Alas (Clarín), published by Libsa in paperback (380 pages, in Spanish).
Ana Ozores, married and dissatisfied, tries to fill her existential void between religious devotion and the attention of those who court her in Vetusta, a provincial city dominated by hypocrisy and appearances. This initial volume presents the protagonist's world and the conflicts of love, desire and faith that run through the narrative.

For readers of classic Spanish fiction, especially those interested in nineteenth-century realism.
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.
