Catalina

In the dark days of the Spanish Inquisition, such a claim to blessedness has serious consequences, especially when Catalina seems more inclined to obey her heart than the demands of the Church. The last of Maugham's novels, Catalina is a romantic celebration of Spain and a delightfully mischievous satire on absolutism.

In zilele intunecate ale Inchizitiei spaniole, o astfel de pretentie la binecuvantare are consecinte grave, mai ales cand Catalina pare mai inclinata sa-si asculte inima decat cerintele Bisericii. Ultimul dintre romanele lui Maugham, Catalina este o sarbatoare romantica a Spaniei si o satira incantator de rautacioasa asupra absolutismului.
