«Tormento» is the realist novel by Benito Pérez Galdós, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (352 pages, in Spanish).
Published in 1884, the work revolves around Amparo Sánchez Emperador, a shy orphaned young woman who arouses the desires of Agustín Caballero, an Indiano enriched in America, and of Pedro Polo, a priest without vocation. The conflict between the two reflects the struggle between nature and society, with secondary characters such as Rosalía and Francisco Bringas bringing the story to life.
Novel framed in Galdós's series of contemporary Spanish novels, published between El Doctor Centeno and La de Bringas, with which it forms a triptych.
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.
