Explanation To Books La Regenta

En las páginas de La Regenta el joven catedrático de la Universidad de Oviedo, Leopoldo Alas, pretendía crear un gran fresco narrativo sobre la sociedad burguesa y urbana, dominada por la nobleza decadente, el clero egoísta y la política caciquil, centrado en la seducción y el adulterio de una dama, Ana Ozores, representativa de aquella sociedad. Influido por la escuela naturalista fundamentada en Zola y Maupassant, pero anclado aún en argumentos románticos, Leopoldo Alas "Clarín" escribió la que ha sido considerada como la mejor novela del siglo XIX español. Gregorio Torres Nebrera es catedrático de Literatura Española de la Universidad de Extremadura. Especialista en los siglos XIX y XX, de su trabajo destacan sus estudios y ediciones de Larra, Zorrilla, Valle-Inclán, Azorín, Alberti, y de los autores del teatro español contemporáneo.

Comment On Epithetical Books La Regenta

I think it is a poorly known book out of Spain, but it is an book of excepcional quality, better in my humble opinión that Madame Bovary and at at almost the same level of Anna Karenina.A masterpiece of XIX century universal literatura.Ana Ozores a unforguetable heroine

Had to read it for my Spanish literature class.It was ok,a very simple and quick read. Not very interesting though.

I wouldn't say this was a riveting read. At over 700 pages, it could easily have lost a couple of hundred of them, but this tale of Dona Ana Ozores, the neglected young wife of a much older ex-judge, torn between taking a lover or giving herself to the church kept me interested. Lots of soul-searching, tears and debilitating illness, it wasn't a happy read. Published in 1885, it actually felt much older to me in comparing how England would have been in that time.

This novel is a very great work of art, but I had to work hard to appreciate it. I'm fine with obscure references to matters classical, biblical or historical, but there are repeated references to minor Spanish poets and playwrights that I had never heard of before (and will doubtless never hear about again). Sometimes these references broadened my understanding (once I'd looked them up in the footnotes), but more often they made me feel dull and slow-witted. The style is subtle and

The edition I (mostly) read was published by Clasicos Castalia, not the one shown on this page.La Regenta is argueably the best-known, best-written novel of the Spanish 19th century - a masterpiece of Naturalism. This enormously lengthy work tells the story of the little vespiary of Vetusta, Spain and the cruelty of its citizens, particularly toward Ana Ozores, La Regenta (The Regent's Wife). In short, Ana has married a rich man who spends all his time working on goofy scientific inventions with

Marvelous novel, that told me the 19th century novel was alive and kicking in Spain - I had no idea. If you think you've run out of great 19th century novels, oh come here.

I'm on a quest of reading as many books as possible encompassing Spanish/Latin American authors by the end of this summer, and this book happened to be on my list. I've actually read it in Spanish since I prefer not to read translated works (loss of meaning), and I was pleasantly surprised by its complexity and overall critique of the social schism in Oviedo. Although I'm not a fan of Clarín, I appreciate his linguistic lyricism and clever innuendos. I think that hes done a great job at
