Dona Perfecta (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162660233)

Dona Perfecta is a novel written by Benito Perez Galdos. The story is set in the fictional Spanish town of Orbajosa, where a young man named Pepe Rey arrives to visit his aunt, Dona Perfecta. Pepe is a liberal and progressive thinker, while his aunt is a conservative and devout Catholic. Their conflicting ideologies lead to a clash of beliefs and values, which ultimately results in a tragic ending. Along the way, the novel explores themes of religion, politics, family, and tradition. Dona Perfecta is considered one of Galdos' most important works and a masterpiece of Spanish literature. It is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that offers a glimpse into the complex social and political landscape of 19th-century Spain.""What! Have you never heard of Caballuco?"" said the countryman, amazed at the crass ignorance of Dona Perfecta's nephew. ""He is a very brave man, a fine rider, and the best connoisseur of horses in all the surrounding country. We think a great deal of him in Orbajosa; and he is well worthy of it. Just as you see him, he is a power in the place, and the governor of the province takes off his hat to him.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
