«El amigo Manso» is the novel by Benito Pérez Galdós, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (338 pages, in Spanish).
Máximo Manso, a philosophy professor in Madrid and follower of Krausism, leads a contemplative and celibate life, marked by rectitude and a gentle scepticism. The intrusion of the outside world into his solitary existence puts his ideals to the test and reveals the contradictions of Madrid society at the time.
El amigo Manso was originally published in 1882 and belongs to the El Libro de Bolsillo collection, within the Biblioteca Pérez Galdós, with the number BA 0127.
An ideal read for the general public interested in the classics of Spanish literature and in nineteenth-century narrative.
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.
