«El amigo Manso» is the novel by Spanish writer Benito Pérez Galdós, published by Libreria y Casa Editorial Hernando, S.A. in paperback, in Spanish.
The novel follows Máximo Manso, a professor of Philosophy with Krausist leanings, devoted to contemplation and an orderly routine. When the forces of the outside world break into his solitary life, his principles waver. Galdós contrasts idealism and reality and portrays a hypocritical, materialistic society with irony.
This edition is from 1983. El amigo Manso, by Benito Pérez Galdós, is part of the Novelas Españolas Contemporáneas cycle and was originally published in 1882.
For readers of Spanish literary classics and for students of the work of Benito Pérez Galdós.
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.
