«Pepita Jiménez» is the novel by Juan Valera, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (368 pages, in Spanish).
Young don Luis de Vargas, a seminarian about to be ordained, returns to his Andalusian village and meets Pepita Jiménez, a young widow. Their interaction awakens in Luis a conflict between his religious vocation and earthly love, in a story that portrays the social and moral conventions of rural nineteenth-century Spain.
The work was originally published in 1874; this Cátedra edition (2006) is part of the Letras Hispánicas collection (no. 290).
Recommended for readers of Spanish literature classics and nineteenth-century realism.
Juan Valera y Alcalá-Galiano was a Spanish realist author, diplomat, and politician.
