02/20/1881 Pedro Mu├░oz Seca, La vengeanza de Don Mendo

It is La _Venganza_ de Don Mendo, not La _Vengeanza_.

A total masterpiece.

Your help is appreciated :-)

It is funny, I think Pedro Mou�oz is one of the best Spanish authors of the era, but he never gets much recognicion, because he was killed by the wrong side of the Spanish Civil War, I guess.
