La Regenta (Tomo II) by Leopoldo Garcia ALAS (1852 - 1901) Genre(s): Family Life, Published 1800 -1900 Read by: Epachuko in Spanish Chapters: 00:00:00 - 23 - Capítulo XXIX (Parte A) 00:34:58 - 24 - Capítulo XXIX (Parte B) 00:56:04 - 25 - Capítulo XXIX (Parte C) 01:35:54 - 26 - Capítulo XXX (Parte A) 02:08:10 - 27 - Capítulo XXX (Parte B) 02:42:50 - 28 - Capítulo XXX (Parte C) 'La Regenta' está considerada la mejor novela española del siglo XIX y una de las más importantes novelas de la Historia de las letras en el mismo idioma tras 'El Quijote' lo cual son palabras mayores. Pocas obras en castellano han generado tal cantidad de análisis y comentarios, y al mismo tiempo, han sido tan maltratadas por el poder político al habérsela considerado durante muchos años un texto de contenido impropio o inmoral. La obra aunque es extensa y en ella aparecen más de 100 personajes estupendamente retratados, está escrita de una manera ágil y sencilla, manteniendo al lector expectante, capítulo tras capítulo, describiendo el panorama de Vetusta y las circunstancias de Doña Ana Ozores, conocida como 'La Regenta'. Mujer bellísima pero inaccesible para sus pretendientes, estancada en un matrimonio aburrido pero de firmes convicciones virtuosas, es considerada por los vecinos como un monumento más de su ciudad. En este segundo tomo (Capítulos del XVI al XXX), tras tener el lector un adecuado conocimiento del ambiente y personajes el lector asistirá a una serie de avatares que trastornarán la vida de Vetusta y que intensificarán la pugna por las atenciones y el corazón de La Regenta entre el elegante seductor Don Álvaro Mesía y el astuto y elocuente canónigo Don Fermín de Pas. En el primer capítulo de este volumen Doña Ana Ozores se despierta exaltada tras un sueño placentero pero turbador que protagonizaba un hombre que no era precisamente su marido, Don Victor Quintanar... ¿Quién ocupará su mente? ¿Quién la conquistará? - Summary by Epachuko More information: https://librivox.org/la-regenta-tomo-ii-by-leopoldo-garcia-alas/ LibriVox - free public domain audiobooks (https://librivox.org/)
