Amor, celos, suspenso, humor
Como tenia que leer esta novelita para una clase de literatura española del siglo XIX, yo habia pensado que iba a ser lenta, triste y no muy agradable. ¡Cual fue mi sorpresa cuando descubri que no es asi! Tiene de todo: descripciones fascinantes de cada detalle de los personajes, relaciones sorprendentemente modernas entre marido y mujer, casos de personas que coquetean y los celos que esto provoca... pero a pesar de lo que indique este resumen, no se parece nada a una telenovela. Me puse a reir varias veces y no me pude acostar hasta que ya supe que habia pasado entre el tio Lucas, el Corregidor, la seña Frasquita y la Corregidora.

An amusing tale of morality in a 1800's Spanish community:
The Three Cornered Hat is an amusing tale of mistaken identities and moral folkways in the Spain of early 1800's. Though the plot is not an entirely original one (the reader can recall similar stories such as Chaucer's Reeve's Tale), the story is written in an original way, describing the Andalucian countryside and colorful examples of local characters.
Alarcón is an author unknown in most of the world outside of Spain, but I recommend the book as an easily readable and largely enjoyable example of his work.
