«El amigo Manso» is the novel by Benito Pérez Galdós, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (336 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Máximo Manso, a philosophy professor of Asturian origin based in Madrid, associated with Krausism and contemplative in character, who embodies rectitude, tolerance and a kindly skepticism. His solitary and orderly existence is disrupted when the forces of the outside world break into it, pitting his ideals against the social reality of his time.
Novel originally published in 1882. The 1997 edition belongs to the collection Maestros Modernos Hispánicos, edited by Eduardo Mendoza.
For readers of classic Spanish literature and of 19th-century realist fiction.
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.
