Marianela (1878) is a novel by Benito Perez Galdos. Published
toward the beginning of Perez Galdos' career, Marianela is a
powerful story of romance and disability that raises timeless
questions regarding the meaning of love and the values associated
with beauty. Adapted several times for film and television in Spain
and abroad, the novel is Perez Galdos' most universal works of
fiction. Everyone is familiar with the phrase "love at first
sight," but what about "love at first song?" In Marianela, Benito
Perez Galdos explores the ways we understand love in relation to
worldly beauty. His contemporary fable is set in the fictional town
of Socartes, where a young orphan named Marianela captures the
heart of the blind youth Pablo through her beautiful singing. Their
love is pure, and they plan to marry, but Pablo's father has other
plans. Hiring the famous doctor Teodoro Golfin to restore his son's
eyesight, he unwittingly threatens the unique relationship between
Pablo and Marianela, whose physical features are far from society's
ideal. Although he promises to love her forever, Pablo feels
pressured to marry his cousin Florentina. With a beautifully
designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition
of Benito Perez Galdos's Marianela is a classic of Spanish
literature reimagined for modern readers.
