About this ebook

En Marianela, de Benito Pérez Galdós, se relata el amor entre una chica pobre y no muy agraciada, y Pablo, un hombre ciego de nacimiento. La trama transcurre en Socartes, pueblo minero, y Aldeacorba, donde vive Pablo con don Francisco Penáguilas, su padre. La familia Penáguilas goza de una creciente riqueza y Pablo es feliz junto Nela, su lazarillo; con quien pasea y conversa. Nela es una pobre huérfana que vive con la familia del capataz de las minas, Centeno. Es menospreciada y solo siente alegría acompañando a Pablo. Sienten un amor profundo y Pablo le promete casarse con ella.
Pablo cree que Marianela es una mujer de extraordinaria belleza. Sin embargo, a Socartes ha llegado don Teodoro Golfín, un famoso oftalmólogo, con el propósito de curar a Pablo. ¿Por qué la naturaleza al colmarle de bienes materiales le niega lo único que puede hacerlo feliz? Al final de Marianela la operación de Pablo y su curación provocan un desenlace dramático.

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.
