DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis novel from Benito Perez Galdos is one of the towering masterpieces of nineteenth-century Spanish literature, a distinction that rests in large part on the indelible character of Dona Perfecta. As a new widow desperate to escape destitution, Dona Perfecta promised the hand of her young daughter in marriage to her nephew Pepe. But when the time comes for the wedding to be planned, Dona Perfecta has changed her mind -- and she embarks on a ruthless campaign of terror to ensure that the ceremony never takes place.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBook Excerpt: The first novel in which the new interest was predominant was the present book, Doña Perfecta, finished in April, 1876. In it Galdós brought the new and the old face to face: the new in the form of a highly trained, clear-thinking, frank-speaking modern man; the old in the guise of a whole community so remote from the current of things that its religious intolerance, its social jealousy, its undisturbed confidence and pride in itself must of necessity declare instant war upon that which comes from without, unsympathetic and critical. The inevitable result is ruin for the party whose physical force is less, the single individual, yet hardly less complete ruin for those whom intolerance and hate have driven to the annihilation of their adversary. The sympathies of the author, as his closing sentence shows, are with the new, but his conscience as artist has none the less compelled him to give to the old its right of full and fair utterance.The same ignorant or stubborn relRead More

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHow the advent of technology and other revolutionary beliefs were fought off by the populace has been beautifully depicted by Galdos. In a picturesque manner, he depicts the idiosyncratic characters in a unique style. Pro- and anti-Catholic sentiments and arguments are forged into the theme of the novel.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDona Perfecta, the classic of Spanish literature, is presented here in its original language. First published in 1876, the novel is a strong representation of the realist genre which came to prominence during the late 19th century. The entire plot takes place in Spain, where Don Jose Rey - commonly known as Pepe - journeys to a Catholic cathedral in the city of Orbajosa. It is his intention to wed his cousin Rosario; at first, we understand that the marriage is merely one of convenience, orchestrated by Pepe's father and aunt. However the plot thickens when Pepe truly falls for Rosario, and the Cathedral Canon, Don Inocencio, begins to meddle in the union... Valuable for providing a context of everyday life in nineteenth century Spain, we witness a society where the Catholic church continues to wield great power and influence in everyday affairs. This, in a country where conjugal traditions and religious observance held great importance and sway over the everyday lives of many. The emergence of a more socially liberal, urban outlook in the city of Madrid is also charted as contrasting the conservative rural areas; trends which continue to offer relevance in the modern day."
