Description

Book Synopsis
Juan Valera y Alcalá-Galiano (1824-1905), one of 19th-century Spain's most well known authors, had a career in the diplomatic service with postings in Europe and the Americas. A serious student of his own and foreign literatures, Valera wrote novels, short stories, essays and literary criticism.

Trade Review
This novel will survive for many years as a delightful and beautiful piece of the literary art because it treats two of the most universal of human themes: the fanatic religious zeal of youth and the emotional and physical power of human love. I cannot imagine many who read it who will not relate to it, based on their own experiences in both areas.
