«Tristana» is the novel by Benito Pérez Galdós, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
Tristana, a young woman who, after being orphaned, comes under the guardianship of don Lope, an older man who makes her his lover, tries to build a life of her own. Her intellectual awakening leads her to question that relationship and to confront a society that denies women independence and happiness, in a portrait of Madrid's petty bourgeoisie and its conventions.
The novel was originally published in 1892 and this edition is part of the El libro de bolsillo collection, Biblioteca Pérez Galdós.
For readers of Spanish classics interested in realist narrative and 19th-century social criticism.
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.
