Fortunata y Jacinta III (Narrativa nº 216)

Rate this book
Fortunata y Jacinta III pertenece al ciclo de las «Novelas españolas contemporáneas» y es la obra cumbre de Benito Pérez Galdós. La trama describe el «Madrid galdosiano». Así lo afirman Leopoldo Alas (Clarín) y Pedro Ortiz-Armengol, uno de los biógrafos de Galdós. Los sucesos transcurren, entre diciembre de 1869 y abril de 1876 y diseccionan el ambiente socio-político tras los últimos días de la Revolución de 1868, el Reinado de Amadeo I de España, la Primera República, los golpes militares de los generales Pavia y Martínez Campos, y la Restauración.
En esta tercera parte el Delfín vuelve al redil; Fortunata, despechada, se arrima al anciano Evaristo Feijoo, y este, en una carambola perfecta, la reconcilia con Maximiliano.

About the author

Benito Pérez Galdós

1,356 books644 followers
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.
