«Halma» is the novel by Benito Pérez Galdós, published by Signo Editores in paperback (200 pages, in Spanish).
Halma, a young countess, renounces her social position after being widowed and dedicates her fortune to a charitable foundation in Pedralba; to do so, she seeks the help of Nazarín, a vagabond priest. The novel addresses charity, faith, and the contradictions of nineteenth-century Spanish society.
Work originally published in 1895; this edition belongs to the collection «Obras escogidas de Benito Pérez Galdós», as volume 5.
For readers interested in nineteenth-century Spanish narrative and in Galdós's spiritualist phase.
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.
