At the end of the 19th century, Tristana, a young orphan from Madrid, lives under the tutelage of an old hidalgo who has taken advantage of her innocence to make her his lover. After a period of submission, the girl awakens to rebellion and dreams of educating herself, pursuing a profession and being a single mother. When she meets a romantic and impassioned painter, she places her hopes in him, but a tragedy will cross her path.

Aimed at secondary school students and readers approaching the classics of 19th-century Spanish 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.
