The four novels together trace the career of Francisco Torquemada, a moneylender whose life is shaken when his son falls seriously ill. After that episode, his ambition leads him to marry into a ruined aristocratic family, become a marquis, reach the Senate, and amass a fortune, in a critique of Restoration-era Spain.

Recommended for readers of classic Spanish fiction and for those seeking a social critique of nineteenth-century Spain.
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.
