«Troteras y danzaderas» is the novel by Ramón Pérez de Ayala, published by Castalia Ediciones in paperback (430 pages, in Spanish).
The action takes place in Madrid at the beginning of the 20th century and portrays the atmosphere of the literary bohemia of the time. Pérez de Ayala, having left realism behind, combines the adventures of his characters with reflection on art and morality, in a story full of irony about love and friendship.
The novel was originally published in 1913; this 1973 edition belongs to the Clásicos Castalia collection (no. 52) and includes edition, introduction and notes by Andrés Amorós.
Recommended for readers who want to approach the narrative of the Generation of '98 in an annotated edition with critical material.
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.
