The House of Ulloa
Emilia Pardo Bazan,Paul O'Prey
A rich and unforgettable tragic-comic novel of sexual intrigue and political scheming in nineteenth-century Spain
One of the greatest nineteenth-century Spanish novels, The House of Ulloa follows pure and pious Father Julian Alvarez, who is sent to a remote country estate to put the affairs of the marquis, an irresponsible libertine, in order. When he discovers moral decadence, cruelty and corruption at his new home, Julian’s well-meaning but ineffectual attempts to prevent the fall of the House of Ulloa end in tragedy. Combining gothic elements with humour and social satire, The House of Ulloa is the finest achievement of Emilia Pardo Bazan, a prolific writer, feminist, traveller and intellectual, and one of the most dynamic figures of her time.
