Benito Pérez Galdós: Doña Perfecta (2009, Oxbow Books)
English language
Published Jan. 6, 2009 by Oxbow Books.
One of the most popular writers in Spain, and perhaps the best known in other countries, is Benito Pérez Galdós. In nearly all his works he has sought to portray some particular phase of Spanish life. Though Galdós is not strictly speaking a "realist," his stories are intensely Spanish, and hence appeal to every foreigner interested in the daily life and doings and in the national customs of the Spanish people. - Introduction.
Pérez Galdós hizo, en Doña Perfecta, un preciso y entretenidísimo análisis de la moral católica de su tiempo. Aunque los contextos y las usanzas han cambiado mucho en ya casi 150 años, los perfiles de los personajes conservan su vigencia casi intacta.
