«Miau» is the realist novel by Benito Pérez Galdós, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (424 pages, in Spanish).
Set in Restoration-era Madrid, «Miau» portrays the downfall of Ramón Villaamil, a dismissed civil servant who watches his world crumble amid state bureaucracy, political influence, family pressure, and psychological strain. Through Villaamil's struggle to regain his post, Galdós criticizes the corruption and administrative system of his time, highlighting the contrasts between the romantic Spain of Alfonso XII and the despair of bureaucratic society.
It is number 476 in the Letras Hispánicas collection, edited by Francisco Javier Díez de Revenga. The novel was originally published in 1888.
Reading for those who enjoy classics of Spanish literature, especially Galdós's social novels and nineteenth-century realism.
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.
