Description

Painter Silvio Lago chases artistic glory, patronage, and love while illness closes in. The chimera is ambition itself, not a young woman Augusta trapped in a dull marriage. Spanish novel of art hunger and cost.

Author

Emilia Pardo Bazán (1851–1921) brought French naturalism into Spanish fiction and then made it her own. A countess, journalist, critic, and novelist, she wrote of Galicia, class, and women's lives with a candour that startled her century. Los pazos de Ulloa remains a landmark of Spanish realism: rural power, desire, and decay observed without flinch.
