«La de Bringas» is the novel by Benito Pérez Galdós, published by Alianza in paperback (288 pages, in Spanish).
In nineteenth-century Madrid, Rosalía Pipaón de Bringas, married to a Palace employee, tries to maintain a status her finances cannot support. In debt over clothes and adornments, she embodies the contradictions of a middle class obsessed with appearances, in a fresco of aristocrats, bureaucrats and servants in the upper quarters of the Royal Palace.
Originally published in 1884, it belongs to the first cycle of contemporary Spanish novels by Benito Pérez Galdós. Volume 133 of El Libro de Bolsillo, in the Biblioteca Pérez Galdós from Alianza.
For readers of classics of nineteenth-century Spanish literature, particularly the costumbrista portrait of Madrid society.
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.
