En La Regenta, sin lugar a dudas una de las cumbres de la novela realista, Leopoldo Alas alcanzó a cifrar de forma inolvidable uno de los motivos que obsesionaron a la narrativa europea de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX: el retrato de un carácter femenino que se debate entre el deseo y su represión , y que sufre, en este caso, las asechanzas de un galán y de un cura. La peripecia tiene como trasfondo la magistraly despiadada descripción del entorno de Ana Ozores, esa Vetusta murmuradora y provinciana en la que toda vanidad e hipocresía tiene su asiento. José Luis Gómez, tras un minucioso análisis de las primeras ediciones de la obra, sigue el texto de la tercera (1901), revisada por Clarín y publicada poco antes de su muerte. El prólogo de S. Beser al autor y su novela en el contexto de la creación europea y española de la época, mientras que la anotación facilita la comprensión de cada uno de los pormenores del rico universo clariniano.

Work Description

Married to the retired magistrate of Vetusta, Ana Ozores cares deeply for her much older husband but feels stifled by the monotony of her life in the shabby and conservative provincial town. And when she embarks on a quest for fulfillment through religion and even adultery, a bitter struggle begins between a powerful priest and a would-be Don Juan for the passionate young woman’s body and soul. Scandalizing contemporary Spain when it was first published in 1885, with its searing critique of the Church and its frank treatment of sex, La Regenta is a compelling and witty depiction of the complacent and frivolous world of upper-class society. - Random House
