«Tormento» is the novel by Benito Pérez Galdós, published by Planeta in paperback (400 pages, in Spanish).
Set in Madrid in the second half of the nineteenth century, it follows Amparo Sánchez Emperador, a shy orphaned young woman who attracts the interest of two very different men: Agustín Caballero, a wealthy Indiano, and Pedro Polo, a priest without a vocation. Galdós portrays social hypocrisy, the limited options for women, and the corruption of the Restoration.
Originally published in 1884, it is part of Galdós's Novelas contemporáneas series. This Austral Educación edition includes a preliminary study and work proposals by Blanca Ripoll.
Edition designed for high school students; prescribed reading in Catalonia for the 2020-2022 and 2021-2023 cohorts.
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.
