El Comendador Mendoza, his second novel, was published in 1877." -- 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica; "Valera must be counted among the realists of fiction. He says that his favorite study is the human soul, and he is consequently at his best in describing the inner man, in depicting the course which mind and heart take through the changing impulses that come from within and without. In this respect one of his most admirable achievements is his Comendador Mendoza. For loftiness of tone, for consummate skill in the presentation of the chief characters, notably of the Comendador, for ease and grace of description, this novel deserves to be set by the. side of his universally known Pepita Jiménez."--Rudolph Schevill ; tear to front cover edge ; FAIR.
