In 'Gloria', Benito Pérez Galdós immerses us in 19th-century Spain, where religious and social tensions mark the destiny of its characters. The novel tells the story of a forbidden love between David Morton, a descendant of a Sephardic Jewish family, and Gloria Lantigua, belonging to a fervent Catholic family. Through this tragic romance, Galdós explores the dangers of fanaticism and intolerance, offering a masterful portrait of the society of his time and a profound reflection on human nature and dogmatic beliefs.
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.
