Book Description
"By focusing on humor as a positive element in Galdós' writing rather than an extraneous or expendable device, Mr. Nimetz presents the Spanish novelist as a figure of more than local significance. The Novelas contemporáneas, begun in 1881, are shown to be a summation of many kinds of realism developed earlier in the nineteenth century; moreover, the liberating faith in human endeavor found in Galdós' cycle is seen as the antithesis of the deterministic view of man in naturalistic novels of his own time. Galdós' major targets and weapons--romance and delusion, satire and irony--often resemble those of Balzac and Dickens, but the low-keyed humor with which he captured everyday events is very much his own. The delightfully humorous effects of his approach make him a fascinating transitional figure in the development of the modern novel."--Dust jacket.

Book Description
The richness and vastness of Palma's narrative contribution have long demanded a more illustrative approach, such as that employed by Rosenblat and Hatzfeld in their studies of Cervantes' language. Accordingly, I have endeavored to buttress each point of analysis with a representative variety of examples. This format, of course, permits the reader to skim the examples and to focus on the analytical observations if the latter is of prime interest to him.

Book Description
Benito Perez Galdos has been described as 'the greatest Spanish novelist since Cervantes.' His work constitutes a major contribution to the nineteenth-century novel, rivalling that of Dickens of Balzac and making him an essential candidate for any course on the fiction of the period. Jo Labanyi's study is supported by a wide-rangting introduction, a section of contemporary comment, headnotes to each piece and helpful appendix material.

Book Description
Benito Pérez Galdós (1843-1920) was a prolific Spanish realist novelist, who through a lack of good translations is virtually unknown outside Spain, though he has been compared as second only to Cervantes in Spanish literature and whose work is considered to give the deepest, truest, most comprehensive realities of Spain.

Book Description
A study of Galdós' Jewish characters and what they tell us about the place of Jews in C19th Spanish society and culture. Few Spanish novelists have dealt with the problem of religion and religious commitment more comprehensively than Benito Pérez Galdós. His lifelong preoccupation with man in search of transendence repeatedly led him to evaluate andcriticize the religious institutions that stifled rather than helped man in his search. In the Jews, Galdós saw a people who, though victimized by religious intolerance, managed to survive persecution and affirm an abiding faithin God. He created Jewish characters throughout his long literary career and therefore presents the most comprehensive portrait of Jews as they existed in the culture, the religion and fabric of C19th Spanish society.
