Do~na Berta by Leopoldo Alas

Dona Berta. Cuervo. Supercheria no son solo relatos ejemplares de sus hondas querencias intelectuales y artisticas, son tambien conquistas razonables de su estatuto de escritor en el fin de siglo. Sus novelas cortas son explicables en parecido contexto a las de Maupassant o Chejov, es decir, en el contexto de la nouvelle europea de finales del siglo XIX.

Leopoldo Alas (1852-1901) was the son of a government official, born in Zamora, Spain. He attended the University of Oviedo and the University of Madrid, receiving a doctorate in law. A novelist and writer of short stories who adopted the pseudonym Clarü¾™†”¼n (Bugle), Alas was one of Spain's most influential literary critics. He became a professor of law at the University of Oviedo in 1883 and published his first and best-known novel, La Regenta, in 1884; his second novel, Su ü¾˜–˜¼nico hijo (His Only Son), was published in 1890. He died in Oviedo at the age of forty-nine.
