Marianela (Spanish Edition)

Benito Perez Galdos

Los mejores libros jamas escritos. Nuestra imaginacion es la que ve y no los ojos.

Marianela es una joven pobre, deforme y menospreciada por todo el mundo. Solo encuentra consuelo y un hombro sobre el que apoyarse en Pablo, el hijo ciego del dueno de las minas de Socartes, a quien la desdichada muchacha hace las veces de lazarillo. Sus paseos y sus conversaciones devienen en un lazo que parece inquebrantable, y Pablo promete a Nela casarse algun dia con ella. Sin embargo, la posibilidad de una cura para su ceguera hara tambalear los cimientos de un amor que trasciende toda apariencia y posicion social.

En esta, una de sus mas populares novelas, Galdos ofrece una vision hastiada de una sociedad decadente. Por ello, Maria Luisa Sotelo Vazquez, profesora de literatura espanola de la Universidad de Barcelona, propone, a traves de la introduccion y el aparato de notas, un acercamiento a todos los aspectos que hacen de esta un logro insoslayable de la literatura en lengua castellana.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Marianela is a poor and deformed young girl who is looked down on and mistreated by the world. She is only able to find refuge, peace, and a shoulder to lean on in Pablo, the blind son of a mine owner. She becomes a guide for him, and with their strolls and conversations, they build a stong bond that seems unbreakable; Pablo event promises to one day marry Marianela. One day though, there seems to be a possibility to cure Pablo’s blindness and this will shake the core foundation of a love that transcends all appearances and social classes.

This is one of Galdos’ most popular novels; in it, he offers a jaded vision of a decadent society. And within the introduction and the side notes, Spanish literature professor Maria Luisa Sotelo Vazquez, guides and helps the reader recognize all of the aspecsts that make this novel a necessary and inevitable achievement in Spanish language literature.
