Sobre este livro

Pepe Rey, a brilliant young engineer from Madrid with modern scientific ideas, comes to the old cathedral town of Orbajosa to marry his cousin Rosario, daughter of his aunt Doña Perfecta, a wealthy widow admired for her piety. But the town, ruled by tradition and by the canon Don Inocencio, sees him as an atheist and an intruder; his aunt, outwardly gentle, turns against him with ruthless determination, and the conflict between progress and fanaticism ends in tragedy.

Contexto e importância

Benito Pérez Galdós (1843–1920), the greatest Spanish novelist since Cervantes, published the novel in 1876, and its portrait of religious intolerance in provincial Spain caused a stir. This translation is by Mary J. Serrano. Compare Manzoni's The Betrothed.
