«Doña Perfecta» is the novel by Benito Pérez Galdós, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (302 pages, in Spanish).
Pepe Rey, a young engineer with liberal ideas, arrives in the episcopal city of Orbajosa to marry his cousin Rosario, daughter of doña Perfecta. The plan clashes with the opposition of the mother, a pillar of a traditionalist and closed society, and the story becomes a critique of intolerance and religious fanaticism in nineteenth-century Spain.
Galdós's first social novel, according to the back cover, originally published in 1876. This edition belongs to the El libro de bolsillo collection from Alianza Editorial.
Recommended for readers interested in nineteenth-century Spanish narrative and in classics of world literature. Suitable as school reading.
Benito María de los Dolores Pérez Galdós was a Spanish realist novelist and politician. He was a leading literary figure in 19th-century Spain, and some scholars consider him second only to Miguel de Cervantes in stature as a Spanish novelist.
