Sonata de otoño; Sonata de invierno: memorias del Marqués de Bradomín

"Sonata de otoño; Sonata de invierno: memorias del Marqués de Bradomín" by Valle-Inclán are two novels published in 1902 and 1905. They present fictional memoir fragments of the Marqués de Bradomín, described as "ugly, Catholic and sentimental, faithless, cynical and gallant like a Renaissance cardinal." In autumn, the aging marquis returns to Galicia to visit a dying former lover. In winter, wounded during the Carlist wars, he recovers in a Navarrese convent where he attempts to seduce a young woman—later revealed to be his own daughter.
