This passionate and moving story of social injustice, violence and
revenge, set in the Valencian huerta, has become the classic text
of Spanish regional realism. Blasco Ibanez, the 'Spanish Zola',
dramatically confronts one of the great social issues of the late
nineteenth century, the possession of land, in a vivid recreation
of the local types and traditional customs of a closed rural
community which jealousy guards its rights and administers its own
rough justice against the outsider. The novel is both a lyrical
hymn to nature and an expose of man's inhumanity to man, narrated
with a human compassion worthy of his master, Galdos. Spanish text
with facing-page translation, introduction and notes.
