Description In Favor Of Books Marianela
Publicada en 1878, Marianela es una novela por la que Benito Pérez Galdós (1843-1920) mostró siempre una especial predilección. El relato —en el que se hallan ya las grandes dicotomías de la obra galdosiana posterior: realidad frente a imaginación, progreso frente a ignorancia, caridad frente a justicia social— extrae buena parte de su fuerza dramática de la figura conmovedora de su protagonista, que, enamorada del ciego Pablo Penáguilas, prefiere morir antes de que éste, una vez recuperada la vista, pueda contemplar su fealdad.

Of course the psychology and philosophy behind the characters is very deep but still, the style is very swift. It's easy to love Marianela, being the ugly duckling of the story. It really brings above sentimental emotions and can therefore according to the translator be put in the category of post-romanticism. I absolutely agree on that part. Marianela is dehumanized in so many different ways that it
