Saragossa: A Story of Spanish Valor (1899) is a novel by Benito
Perez Galdos. Published at the height of Perez Galdos' career,
Saragossa: A Story of Spanish Valor is the sixth in of 46
historical novels in the author's monumental, career spanning
series of National Episodes. Set during the bloody naval battle of
Trafalgar in 1805, Perez Galdos' novel is a story of heroism,
growth, and adventure that manages to find humanity in history. "It
was, I believe, the evening of the eighteenth when we saw Saragossa
in the distance. As we entered by the Puerta de Sancho we heard the
clock in the Torre Nueva strike ten. We were in an extremely
pitiful condition as to food and clothing. The long journey we had
made [...], climbing mountains, fording rivers, making short cuts
until we arrived at the high road of Gallur and Alagon, had left us
quite used up, worn out, and ill with fatigue." Having survived the
disastrous defeat of the Spanish Armada at Trafalgar by the British
Royal Navy, Gabriel de Araceli makes his way to Saragossa. There,
he must fight for his life and the future of his nation as the army
of Napoleon Bonaparte lays siege to the city. Painstakingly
researched by its author, Saragossa: A Story of Spanish Valor is a
detailed fictional retelling of one history's most iconic
conflicts. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally
typeset manuscript, this edition of Benito Perez Galdos's
Saragossa: A Story of Spanish Valor is a classic of Spanish
literature reimagined for modern readers.
