Book Description
Benito Perez Galdos (1843-1920) was one of Spain's outstanding novelists and the author of two vast cycles of novels and a number of plays. In this critical study of Galdos in English, Stephen Gilman relates the writer and his work to the nineteenth century novel as a genre and traces his artistic growth during a twenty-year period, from his initial historical fable, La Fontana de Oro, to his masterpiece, Fortunata y Jacinta. Originally published in 1981. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Pages : 148
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.
La Novela En El Tranvia

Pages : 32
Book Description
Es una obra cuyo argumento se crea mediante los desvaríos rutinarios y las travesuras mentales por parte del narrador. A lo largo de la obra nos cuenta una larga y tortuosa serie de sucesos que pasaron al narrador mientras hacía un recado un día normal en Madrid. Estos sucesos, consiguen formar una historia inteligible y acogedora para el narrador que los cuenta. Pero más importante que esto es el hecho de que dentro de la obra, no existe un argumento en si, es decir en la realidad del narrador, sino la apariencia de uno en los extremos de su curiosidad y confusión. La novela del tranvía destaca por su originalidad en el desarrollo de la trama, que capta al lector hasta el final. La historia comenzó por un relato de verdad que le contó al narrador un conocido suyo, Dionisio Cascajares de la Vallina, quien era un hombre entremetido y amigo de todo el mundo. Aunque no le interesaba mucho la historia, que trataba de una condesa y su mayordomo, escuchó hasta que Cascajares tuvo que bajarse del coche. Después que pasó un tiempo el narrador notó en un trozo de periódico que servía como envoltorio para los libros que llevaba los nombres de unos tanto personajes, estando entre éstos una condesa y otros más que, por increíble suerte, parecían ser los mismos del relato recién contado de Cascajares. Aunque no le interesó la primera vez, la segunda le provocó bastante interés y leyó hasta donde se había desgarrado la página, fijándose en todos los detalles, el más notable de estos siendo el copiar la letra de la Condesa en una carta cuyo destino todavía no se reveló por el estado del periódico usado

The Miser in the Novels of Perez Galdos

Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
The Cambridge Companion to the Spanish Novel presents the development of the modern Spanish novel from 1600 to the present. Drawing on the combined legacies of Don Quijote and the traditions of the picaresque novel, these essays focus on the question of invention and experiment, on what constitutes the singular features of evolving fictional forms. It examines how the novel articulates the relationships between history and fiction, high and popular culture, art and ideology, and gender and society. Contributors highlight the role played by historical events and cultural contexts in the elaboration of the Spanish novel, which often takes a self-conscious stance toward literary tradition. Topics covered include the regional novel, women writers, and film and literature. This companionable survey, which includes a chronology and guide to further reading, conveys a vivid sense of the innovative techniques of the Spanish novel and of the debates surrounding it.
