«Marianela» is the novel by Benito Pérez Galdós, published by Cátedra in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
Marianela, a poor girl of plain appearance, serves as a guide to Pablo, a blind young man from a good family. Their relationship becomes inseparable, but the arrival of a doctor who could restore Pablo's sight threatens it. The work contrasts physical and moral beauty and portrays social inequalities in nineteenth-century Spain.
The novel was originally published in 1878 and is part of what Galdós called «Novelas de la primera época». This Cátedra edition is no. 174 of Letras Hispánicas and includes bibliography.
A work commonly read in schools and a classic for those beginning in nineteenth-century Spanish narrative.
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.
