About this listen

A brilliant comic novel—surprisingly sexy for the 1890s—by the author of *La Regenta*, generally considered the best Spanish novel of the 19th century.

Bonifacio Reyes is the mild-mannered, muddleheaded sickroom slave of his wife, the neurotic and capricious heiress Emma Valcárcel. When a traveling opera company comes to town, their contacts with the singers —the charming, unscrupulous tenor and entrepreneur Mochi, the beautiful, voluptuous soprano Serafina Gorgheggi, the roguish baritone Minghetti—are destined to make great changes in their boring provincial lives.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
