About this ebook

Fortunata y Jacinta 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 primera parte de la novela, Juanito Santa Cruz, el Delfín, hijo único y señorito ocioso, se casa con Jacinta, emparentada con su familia pero de un estrato económico inferior. Ante la obsesión que ella muestra por la vida de soltero del Delfín, se desarrolla un enredo en torno a un supuesto hijo abandonado. Fortunata, antigua víctima de las correrías de Juanito, es acosada por este.

Benito Pérez Galdós

Benito Pérez Galdós (1843-1920) was a Spanish novelist. Born in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, he was the youngest of ten sons born to Lieutenant Colonel Don Sebastián Pérez and Doña Dolores Galdós. Educated at San Agustin school, he travelled to Madrid to study Law but failed to complete his studies. In 1865, Pérez Galdós began publishing articles on politics and the arts in La Nación. His literary career began in earnest with his 1868 Spanish translation of Charles Dickens’ Pickwick Papers. Inspired by the leading realist writers of his time, especially Balzac, Pérez Galdós published his first novel, La Fontana de Oro (1870). Over the next several decades, he would write dozens of literary works, totaling 31 fictional novels, 46 historical novels known as the National Episodes, 23 plays, and 20 volumes of shorter fiction and journalism. Nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature five times without winning, Pérez Galdós is considered the preeminent author of nineteenth century Spain and the nation’s second greatest novelist after Miguel de Cervantes. Doña Perfecta (1876), one of his finest works, has been adapted for film and television several times.
