Benito Pérez Galdós

Benito Pérez Galdós
1843‐1920
Spain's greatest novelist and playwright of the 19th century. After studying law at the University of Madrid, he became a journalist, but made his literary debut with his first novel, The Golden Fountain (1868). He continued to write for over 50 years, studying Balzac and Dickens as his mentors, and produced a vast body of work. The core of this body of work are two series. One of these is Episodes Nacionales (1873-1912), a series of 46 novels that depict the history of 19th century Spain from the Battle of Trafalgar to the Restoration of the Monarchy. The first book, Trafalgar, and the seventh, Gerona, are particularly outstanding.
