«Gerona» is the historical novel by Benito Pérez Galdós, published by Alianza in paperback (173 pages, in Spanish).
Gabriel de Araceli continues here his journey between the episodes of Zaragoza and Cádiz, but the bulk of the plot is the siege of Gerona by French troops during the Spanish War of Independence. Benito Pérez Galdós combines the collective resistance of the besieged with a narrative featuring love, hatred, costumbrismo, and some comic relief.
«Gerona» is the seventh title of the first series of the Episodios Nacionales; the novel was originally published in 1874.
For readers of historical fiction interested in the War of Independence and nineteenth-century Spanish classics.
