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

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 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.

Book Description
This book explores the change that occurred in the writings of Spanish novelist Benito Perez Galdos when he entered his segunda manera in 1881 with the publication of La desheredada, his first contemporary novel. Critical work on this important phase of Galdos's career has tended to concentrate on the content of his novels, with little attention given to the way in which Galdos conveys that content to the reader. By studying these works in light of how their stories are told, Linda Willem shows that La desheredada marks the beginning of a more sophisticated and varied mode of narrative in Galdos's novels. Through close readings of his first seven contemporary works, Willem shows how the affective response associated with various narrative devices plays a role in the rhetorical strategies of each text.
