Rate this book
Publicado em Janeiro de 1892, Tristana constitui o apogeu do périplo literário de Benito Pérez Galdós, o maior escritor espanhol do seu tempo. Entremos no
Don Lope é um Don Juan envelhecido, mas também generoso, assumindo gentilmente a responsabilidade pela filha órfã de um amigo endividado, a bela Tristana. Acolhendo-a em sua casa, em pouco tempo, Don Lope subjuga-a à sua libidinosa vontade, pelo menos até Tristana conhecer o belo e jovem pintor Horacio e começar a revelar os seus tremendos talentos.
Desafiando abertamente todas as convenções da época e da sua posição, Tristana não quer nem ser amante nem esposa, almejando a independência.
Nesta longa e cruelmente lenta cerimónia de destruição daqueles que procuram insurgir-se contra as convenções e ditames político-sociais, Galdós oferece-nos simultaneamente um reflexo social da pequena burguesia madrilena da segunda metade do século XIX e uma perspicaz análise psicológica da condição humana.
Poderá Tristana alcançar tudo aquilo que deseja? «Eram felizes, um e o outro?… Talvez.»

Benito Pérez Galdós

People know Spanish writer Benito Pérez Galdós especially for his Episodios Nacionales (1873-1912), a series of 46 historical novels.

Benito Pérez Galdós was a Spanish realist novelist. Some authorities consider him second only to Cervantes in stature as a Spanish novelist. He was the leading literary figure in 19th century Spain.

Galdós was a prolific writer, publishing 31 novels, 46 Episodios Nacionales (National Episodes), 23 plays, and the equivalent of 20 volumes of shorter fiction, journalism and other writings. He remains popular in Spain, and galdosistas (Galdós researchers) considered him Spain's equal to Dickens, Balzac and Tolstoy. As recently as 1950, few of his works were available translated to English, although he has slowly become popular in the Anglophone world.

While his plays are generally considered to be less successful than his novels, Realidad (1892) is important in the history of realism in the Spanish theatre.
