«Fortunata y Jacinta I» is the realist novel by Benito Pérez Galdós published by Ediciones Orbis, S.A. in hardback, with 433 pages, in Spanish.
Set in Madrid between 1869 and 1876, it narrates the life of Juanito Santa Cruz, an idle bourgeois heir, and his relationship with two women: Jacinta, his wife, and Fortunata, his lover. Galdós thus portrays Madrid society of the period and its political backdrop, from the First Republic to the Restoration.
First volume of the novel, originally published in 1887, within the cycle of the «Novelas españolas contemporáneas».
It will appeal to readers of nineteenth-century realist fiction and to those seeking a classic of Spanish 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.
