El sombrero de tres picos

Pedro Antonio de Alarcón

The Three-Cornered Hat by Pedro Antonio de Alarcón is a comic novella set in early nineteenth-century Andalusia. Corregidor Don Eugenio abuses his office to pursue Frasquita, the miller Lucas’s wife, setting off disguises, jealousy, and mistaken identities in a satire of authority, marriage, honor, and social rank.
