«Tormento» is the realist novel by Benito Pérez Galdós, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (312 pages, in Spanish).
The story follows Amparo Sánchez Emperador, an orphan who attracts the interest of Pedro Polo, a priest without a vocation, and of Agustín Caballero, a wealthy Indiano returning to Madrid. Galdós thus portrays social hypocrisy and the tension between nature and convention in 19th-century Spain.
Originally published in 1884, it forms with El Doctor Centeno and La de Bringas a sort of triptych. It belongs to number 121 of the collection El Libro de Bolsillo - Bibliotecas de Autor - Biblioteca Pérez Galdós.
For readers of 19th-century Spanish realist fiction and of classics of Spanish-language literature.
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.
