«Fortunata y Jacinta I» is the first part of the novel by Benito Pérez Galdós, published by El País in paperback (572 pages, in Spanish).
Set in Madrid in the last third of the nineteenth century, it tells the story of Fortunata, a young woman of humble origins, and Jacinta, the wife of a bourgeois merchant, whose fates are linked by the same man. Galdós paints a broad social and political panorama of Restoration Spain, with characters from different classes and mindsets.
The novel was originally published in 1887. This volume belongs to the Clásicos Españoles collection (no. 27).
For readers interested in the classics of Spanish literature and in the social portrait of nineteenth-century Madrid.
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.
