Rate this book
La de San Quintin es una obra que se construye a partir del esquema de larga tradicion teatral que configura un triangulo sentimental cuyos vertices ocupan una mujer y dos hombres. Electra demuestra su valor germinal como teatro comprometido con la realidad e intensamente simbolico, que a partir de referencias esteticas decimononicas se adentra en el siglo XX.

About the author

Benito Pérez Galdós

1,511 books610 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.

(hago solo reseña de Electra)
2⭐ como mucho...a pesar del final y la crítica a la parte más conservadora de la religión y el control de los hombres, no me ha gustado cómo es tratado el personaje de electra. realmente termina siendo libre? entiendo la época en la que fue escrito, pero a mí las relaciones paternalistas con diferencias de edad tan grandes no me llaman. y siento que a ella la infantilizan demasiado, la ridiculizan mucho, y el punto de vista de todos los hombres del libro me tira mucho para atrás.

"La de San Quintín"
Con lo que me gusta Galdós, me apena puntuarlo así. Una reinterpretación insulsa y muy muy muy flojita de "El sí de las niñas".
