Dona 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."

This 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.

Perfecta, el escritor confesó haberla escrito "a empujones, a trozos, como iba saliendo, pero sin dificultad." El propio Clarín, años después de aquella 'confesión' se planteaba serias dudas sobre la 'impremeditada elaboración' de la novela. Sí es cierto que nació como novela de encargo y que, solicitada por su paisano Fernando León y Castillo para amenizar las páginas de La Revista de España, casi fue apareciendo a medida que la escribió; pero las "innumerables tachaduras de palabras y párrafos" que muestran las páginas del manuscrito conservado son testimonio -como analizan galdosistas como Ortiz-Armengol- de "lo cuidadoso que era Galdós en escoger palabras y en organizar su narración."A lo largo de su génesis, Galdós cambió nombres de personajes, lugares e incluso (como ocurrió en otras novelas suyas como El audaz y La fontana de oro) modificó el final de la historia poco después de haberla terminado de escribir.Doña Perfecta apareció en cinco entregas en La Revista de España (en los números de marzo a mayo de 1876), con tal aceptación que se editó en libro ese mismo mes de mayo, y en junio ya se había agotado la edición. Es entonces cuando Galdós, al publicar su segunda edición en una nueva imprenta, cambió el final grotesco con el que había aparecido hasta entonces

How 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.
