Reseña del editor
Excerpt from The Joy of Captain Ribot: Authorized Translation From the Original A. Palacio Valdés
La Alegria del Capitan Ribot is, as all the stories of this delightful author are, a novel of manners, the modern manners of provincial Spain; and, by the way, while we were spoiling our pros trate foe, I wish we could have got some of these.
