«Marianela» is the novel by Benito Pérez Galdós, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (272 pages, in Spanish).
The young Marianela, of plain appearance, is in love with Pablo Penáguilas, a blind man she accompanies as his guide. When Pablo regains his sight, she fears seeing rejection of her looks in his eyes. The novel intertwines that story with the tensions between reality and imagination, progress and ignorance, and charity and social justice.
Originally published in 1878, this Alianza Editorial edition appeared in 2004 in El Libro de Bolsillo, within the Biblioteca Pérez Galdós.
Readers of Spanish literature classics and students of nineteenth-century narrative.
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.
