Dona Perfecta (1876) is a novel by Benito Perez Galdos. Published
toward the beginning of Perez Galdos' career, Dona Perfecta is a
powerful story of romance and religion that raises timeless
questions regarding the meaning of love and the restrictions placed
on individual lives by the Catholic Church. Adapted several times
for film and television in Spain and abroad, the novel is one of
Perez Galdos' most beloved works of fiction. "'What more can I tell
you of Dona Rosarito but that that she is the living image of her
mother? You will have a treasure, Senor Don Jose, if it is true, as
I hear, that you have come to be married to her. She will be a
worthy mate for you, and the young lady will have nothing to
complain of, either.'" Don Jose Rey, known to friends and family as
Pepe, arrives in the cathedral city of Orbajosa to marry his cousin
Rosario. A young liberal, Jose has mixed feelings regarding the
institution of marriage and the place of the Catholic church, but
decides to obey his father's wishes and go ahead with the marriage
as it has been arranged. When a disagreement arises between Pepe's
father and Dona Perfecta, the mother of Rosario, their spite
threatens to destroy the lives of the two young lovers. With a
beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript,
this edition of Benito Perez Galdos's Dona Perfecta is a classic of
Spanish literature reimagined for modern readers.
