The House of Ulloa (Penguin Black Classics)

'Then he saw the barrel of a gun aimed dead on target - not at him, as he might have expected, but at the clergyman's back.'Set in a crumbling Spanish mansion, this gloriously comic and gothic novel follows the fortunes of an innocent young priest as he enters a world of moral decadence, sexual intrigue and corruption. A new series of twenty distinctive, unforgettable Penguin Classics in a beautiful new design and pocket-sized format, with coloured jackets echoing Penguin's original covers.

Amplasat intr-un conac spaniol, aceasta este povestea parintelui nevinovat si timid, Julian Alvarez, in timp ce incearca sa-l indeparteze pe proprietarul aristocratic de la baut, femeie si golirea ultimului din caseta familiei.
