«Miau» is the satirical novel by Benito Pérez Galdós, published by Alianza in paperback (374 pages, in Spanish).
Miau is set in the bureaucratic Madrid of the Restoration and follows Villaamil, a civil servant on leave who hopes to return to his post. Galdós portrays with irony the lives of public employees, the weight of what people will say, and social criticism, and closes the novel with a grotesque, tragic, and caricatured ending.
Miau, originally published in 1888, is part of the Biblioteca Pérez Galdós of Alianza's El Libro de Bolsillo (volume 122) and includes an introduction by Ricardo Gullón.
For readers of classic Spanish fiction, especially those who want to see Galdós's critique of the public administration of the Restoration.
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.
