An edition by Marina Mayoral, professor of Spanish literature at the Complutense University in Madrid. The House of Ulloa is Emilia Pardo Bazán's masterpiece and the work that most accurately expresses the ideals of French Naturalism. The story is that of a rural aristocratic Galician family and its decline, a habitual scene in the historical context of the author.
It is through the eyes of the young priest Don Julián Álvarez that we witness the twilight of Marquis Don Pedro Moscoso's lineage, first with surprise and astonishment, then with pity. The Moscosos are the living image of Spain's social deterioration at the end of the 19th century: the victim and also the witness of the change that is happening. Pardo Bazán uses refined but dynamic prose that doesn't attempt to hide the unease provoked by watching an unstoppable downward spiral.
