«Doña Perfecta» is a realist novel by Spanish writer Benito Pérez Galdós, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (288 pages, in Spanish).
Set in the fictional city of Orbajosa, the novel contrasts two visions of 19th-century Spain: the liberal one of Pepe Rey and the traditionalist one of doña Perfecta, who opposes her nephew's marriage to Rosario. The influence of canon don Inocencio fuels the conflict, in a critique of intolerance and fanaticism.
Edition by Rodolfo Cardona in the Letras Hispánicas collection from Cátedra (no. 1172). The work was originally published in 1876.
A classic of Spanish realism, suitable for readers interested in Galdós's work and for academic study of 19th-century 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.
