«Marianela» is the novel by Benito Pérez Galdós, published by Anaya Infantil y Juvenil in hardback (208 pages, in Spanish).
Marianela, a young orphan of plain appearance, serves as a guide to Pablo, a blind boy from a good family who imagines her as celestial. When Pablo regains his sight, reality prevails and their relationship faces prejudice. Galdós blends irony and humour to denounce work in the mines and the superficial charity of rural 19th-century Spain.
Work originally published in 1878; this edition dates from 2000. Includes illustrations by Mario Lacoma and belongs to the collection «Libros Para Jóvenes - Tus Libros» (number 23).
For young readers aged 12 and over; part of Anaya's children's and young adult catalogue.
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.
