«La Universal» is the historical novel by Toti Martínez de Lezea, published by Maeva Ediciones in paperback (301 pages, in Spanish).
In early 20th-century Madrid, the newly opened boarding house La Universal brings together a group of singular characters: a lawyer with no future, a frustrated anarchist, a former prostitute, a clairvoyant and an unemployed teacher. Faced with a lack of income, the owner Antonio Ozaeta comes up with the idea of setting up a circus company, and each lodger explores their hidden talents. Meanwhile, the lawyer Ignacio Wallinstein, an admirer of Sherlock Holmes, investigates the disappearance of a client of the firm and discovers unexpected facets of the secretary, Miss Beltrán.
The work belongs to the Nueva Historia collection from Maeva Ediciones; published in 2010, it has 301 pages in paperback.
