Misericordia is a novel by the Spanish writer Benito Pérez Galdós, published in 1897. The story takes place in Madrid at the end of the 19th century and presents Benina, a charitable woman who works as a servant for a family that has fallen on hard times. Through Benina's eyes, Galdós portrays poverty, begging, and the struggle for survival in the city's slums. The novel is an impressive fresco of the Madrid underworld, where fantasy and truth intertwine in a narrative full of lyricism and naturalism.
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.
