«La segunda casaca» is the historical novel by Benito Pérez Galdós, published by Círculo de Lectores in paperback (294 pages, in Spanish).
Pipaón, a cynical and ambitious courtier, continues here the memoirs he began in the previous episode. Galdós narrates with humour the trajectory that led many radical absolutists to embrace liberalism, amid plots and persecutions at the court of Ferdinand VII, culminating in Riego's uprising.
Third instalment of the second series of the Episodios Nacionales, originally published in 1876.
Suitable for readers of Spanish historical fiction and for those following the second series of the Episodios Nacionales.
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.
