«Los cien mil hijos de San Luis» is the historical novel by Benito Pérez Galdós, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (233 pages, in Spanish).
The novel takes place in 1823, when the French army called the Hundred Thousand Sons of Saint Louis, under the command of the Duke of Angoulême, invades Spain to restore the absolutism of Ferdinand VII after the Liberal Triennium. Galdós mixes novelistic adventure and history and shows how that force puts an end to the Constitution of Cádiz in the place where it was born.
It is volume 16 of the Episodios Nacionales by Benito Pérez Galdós, within the second series of the cycle of historical novels.
An appropriate read for those interested in the history of Spain, the Ferdinand period and the classics of nineteenth-century Spanish literature.
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.
