About the Book

Los mejores libros jamás escritos.

«Nuestra imaginación es la que ve y no los ojos.»

Marianela es una joven pobre, deforme y menospreciada por todo el mundo. Solo encuentra consuelo y un hombro sobre el que apoyarse en Pablo, el hijo ciego del dueño de las minas de Socartes, a quien la desdichada muchacha hace las veces de lazarillo. Sus paseos y sus conversaciones devienen en un lazo que parece inquebrantable, y Pablo promete a Nela casarse algún día con ella. Sin embargo, la posibilidad de una cura para su ceguera hará tambalear los cimientos de un amor que trasciende toda apariencia y posición social.

En esta, una de sus más populares novelas, Galdós ofrece una visión hastiada de una sociedad decadente. Por ello, María Luisa Sotelo Vázquez, profesora de literatura española de la Universidad de Barcelona, propone, a través de la introducción y el aparato de notas, un acercamiento a todos los aspectos que hacen de esta un logro insoslayable de la literatura en lengua castellana.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Marianela is a poor and deformed young girl who is looked down on and mistreated by the world. She is only able to find refuge, peace, and a shoulder to lean on in Pablo, the blind son of a mine owner. She becomes a guide for him, and with their strolls and conversations, they build a stong bond that seems unbreakable; Pablo event promises to one day marry Marianela. One day though, there seems to be a possibility to cure Pablo's blindness and this will shake the core foundation of a love that transcends all appearances and social classes.

This is one of Galdos' most popular novels; in it, he offers a jaded vision of a decadent society. And within the introduction and the side notes, Spanish literature professor Maria Luisa Sotelo Vazquez, guides and helps the reader recognize all of the aspecsts that make this novel a necessary and inevitable achievement in Spanish language literature.


About the Author: Benito Pérez Galdós (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 1843-Madrid, 1920) llegó a Madrid en 1862 para estudiar derecho. No tardó en introducirse en la vida cultural e intelectual de la ciudad y en relacionarse con los personajes más destacados de la época, como Leopoldo Alas «Clarín». En 1868 abandonó los estudios para dedicarse íntegramente a la escritura. Su primera novela, La Fontana de Oro (1870), escrita con apenas veinticinco años, anticipa el talento del que sería uno de los mayores narradores de nuestra literatura. Como autor, revolucionó la narrativa española incluyendo en sus obras expresiones populares para dar así más realismo al relato, ideas que aportó también al género teatral. Al mismo tiempo, Galdós tuvo una prolífica carrera en el campo de la política, donde llegó a ser diputado en varias ocasiones por distintas circunscripciones. De su extensa obra cabe remarcar algunas de sus obras maestras, como son Doña Perfecta (1876), Marianela (1878), La desheredada (1881), Tormento (1884), Fortunata y Jacinta (1886-1887), Miau (1888), Misericordia (1897) y los Episodios nacionales (1872-1912), una gran crónica de la España del siglo XIX, formada por cuarenta y seis episodios divididos en cinco series de diez novelas.
