About this ebook

Trafalgar es la primera novela de la primera serie de los Episodios Nacionales de Benito Pérez Galdós.
Gabriel Araceli, el personaje central de esta obra, se presenta al lector. Nacido en Cádiz e hijo de una pobre mujer viuda que se dedicaba a lavar ropa para los marineros, no conoció a su padre, y su infancia transcurrió en la calle, sirviendo de guía para los ingleses que arribaban al muelle de la capital andaluza. Por vicisitudes de la vida, acabará a bordo del Santísima Trinidad, el mayor barco de la época y símbolo de la armada española que contaba con cuatro puentes. Desde ese lugar, el narrador nos ofrecerá una visión completa de la batalla de Trafalgar y sus antecedentes, puesto que Gabriel es testigo de múltiples conversaciones sobre lo acontecido en los diversos frentes de la batalla. La novela de Benito Pérez Galdós no solo nos transporta a Trafalgar, sino que también nos regala una visión global de la vida cotidiana de principios del siglo XIX y de sus costumbres, además de presentarnos a los principales protagonistas de la batalla, tanto españoles como franceses e ingleses. Junto con el relato histórico, el protagonista Grabiel de Araceli nos irá contando anécdotas de su vida cotidiana y amorosa.

Benito Pérez Galdós

Benito Pérez Galdós (1843-1920) was a Spanish novelist. Born in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, he was the youngest of ten sons born to Lieutenant Colonel Don Sebastián Pérez and Doña Dolores Galdós. Educated at San Agustin school, he travelled to Madrid to study Law but failed to complete his studies. In 1865, Pérez Galdós began publishing articles on politics and the arts in La Nación. His literary career began in earnest with his 1868 Spanish translation of Charles Dickens’ Pickwick Papers. Inspired by the leading realist writers of his time, especially Balzac, Pérez Galdós published his first novel, La Fontana de Oro (1870). Over the next several decades, he would write dozens of literary works, totaling 31 fictional novels, 46 historical novels known as the National Episodes, 23 plays, and 20 volumes of shorter fiction and journalism. Nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature five times without winning, Pérez Galdós is considered the preeminent author of nineteenth century Spain and the nation’s second greatest novelist after Miguel de Cervantes. Doña Perfecta (1876), one of his finest works, has been adapted for film and television several times.
