Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

Gabriel Francisco Mir� Ferrer was born on July 28th 1879, in Alicante on the Costa Blanca. Brought up in the Castilian-speaking Alicante, Mir� was sent away to school in nearby Orihela, aged eight. The Jesuit Colegio de Santo Domingo would become the ""Jes�s"" in The Leper Bishop . Mir� studied Law, first at the University of Valencia, then at Granada, from which he graduated in 1900. He married in 1901, at the age of 22, and in that same year published his first novel, La mujer de Ojeda . The Leper Bishop was published in December 1926, when Mir� was a grandfather, and he died not long afterwards, in May 1930, of peritonitis. The Leper Bishop (El obispo leproso) follows the story (begun in Our Father San Daniel ) of a boy, Pablo, who is sent to a Jesuit school - a place where an extremist version of Catholicism is inflicted on its pupils. The novel portrays the struggle between innocence and evil, which, by the end of the book, is tempered by understanding. Mir� has traditionally been seen as a writer difficult or impossible to translate, with very few of his works available in English. It is hoped that this edition will bring this lyrical writer's work to a wider audience. Spanish text with facing-page translation, intrdouction and notes.

Revue de presse :

An experienced translator, Borenstein acquits himself well in this engaging novel... recommended for all collections of literature in translation.' --Choice
