Leopoldo Alas

Leopoldo Enrique García-Alas y Ureña, conocido simplemente como Leopoldo Alas o Clarín (Zamora, 25 de abril de 1852-Oviedo, 13 de junio de 1901), fue un escritor y jurista español. Catedrático primero en la Universidad de Zaragoza y más tarde en la de Oviedo, se desempeñó como crítico literario en la prensa periódica de la época, desde donde atacó con punzantes artículos a muchos literatos contemporáneos. Su novela La Regenta (1884) está considerada la obra cumbre de la literatura española del realismo y una de las mejores novelas en castellano del siglo XIX.

A professor first at the University of Zaragoza and later at the University of Oviedo, he worked as a literary critic for the periodical press of the time, where he launched incisive attacks on many contemporary writers. His novel La Regenta (1884) is considered the pinnacle of Spanish realist literature and one of the best novels written in Spanish in the 19th century.
