«Miau» is the satirical novel by Spanish writer Benito Pérez Galdós, published by Guadarrama in paperback (444 pages, in Spanish).
Ramón Villaamil, unemployed two months before retirement, embodies Galdós's critique of bureaucracy and late-nineteenth-century Madrid society. The novel contrasts private and public life to expose the hypocrisy of social classes and the conflict between the individual and the community. The title evokes morality, income tax, customs, and unification.
Punto Omega collection, number 248. Critical edition with introduction and notes by Robert J. Weber, following the text of the first edition of 1888.
A work of interest for readers of nineteenth-century Spanish classics and socially critical 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.
