Su unico hijo by Leopoldo Alas
En Su nico hijo Leopoldo Alas Clar n describe el mundo aburrido de una ciudad provinciana. En l la vida se ve conmocionada por la llegada de una compa a de pera. Bonifacio Reyes, un marido so ador, ineficaz y sufrido, mantendr unas triviales relaciones con una de las cantantes; y su mujer, Emma, con un bar tono.
Luego, desenga ado con su amante y enga ado por su familia pol tica, sufre una profunda evoluci n moral. Al final de la novela, aparece ennoblecido al rechazar la justificada insinuaci n de que l no es el padre del hijo de su esposa.
El tema central de la historia es la paternidad como medio para la redenci n, muy cercano al Tolst i de Resurrecci n.
