«Tormento» is the novel by Benito Pérez Galdós with introduction and notes by Marcos Maurel, published by La Galera in paperback (408 pages, in Spanish).
Set in Madrid in 1868, it shows a rising bourgeoisie in which money corrodes traditional values. Amparo, a timid orphan, is caught between Agustín, a wealthy returnee from the Indies, and Pedro, a priest without a vocation. With irony and naturalism, Galdós parodies the romantic novel and portrays a society dominated by appearances.
Volume 29 of the La llave maestra collection. The original work appeared in 1884, between El Doctor Centeno and La de Bringas.
Annotated edition aimed at high school students and those seeking a commented reading of a classic of Spanish literature.
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.
