El primer libro que leí a fuerzas... era tarea de la escuela. Casi me da la depresión en aquellos días. Una supertriste historia de amor entre un joven ciego y una chica que por fuera no era bella, pero por dentro hermosa. Describe una sociedad campestre, de costumbres clasistas muy arraigadas y rígidas. Los jóvenes solo saben vivir en ese mundo, y no pueden contra él. Por supuesto que está bien escrita, ya que te hace llorar y llorar sin parar. Pero no es apta para estados de ánimo muy sensibl...more

Marianela es una novela del escritor español, Benito Pérez Galdós, escrita en 1878. La corriente Realista que trabaja Galdós queda representada tanto por los movimientos sociales y políticos que enmarcan la obra, además de plasmar el modo de proceder de la burguesía de la época. Contrario a lo que se pueda pensar, Marianela no es en sí una historia romántica, puesto que también hay desengaños, tragedias y crueldad. Lo que la convierte en una obra más bien melodramática.

This book was pure torture for me. I was told that it was a classic and a "must-read". I regret reading this book. I can appreciate the author's attempt to describe the characters surroundings, but most of the time it just felt excessive and Perez-Galdos just seems to be talking down to the reader throughout the book. I'm not saying it's not good, it just isn't for me.
Se trata de una obra que muestra la grandeza de espíritu del género humano, no obstante pocas logran realizar el profundo escrutinio que realiza Galdós en el corazón de sus personajes. La historiaaa me trae buenos recuerdos, lo recomiendo!!! además tiene un estilo narrativo bastante fluído, razón por la cual es una oba muy citada para atarear a los alumnos XD
El libro más triste que he leído en mi vida. La desfortunada y patética vida de la Marianela y su desamor es suficiente para espantarle la ganas de leer of los niños en la escuela.

The saddest book I've read in my life. Marianela's unfortunate and pathetic life and heartbreak is enough to scare the desire to read in school children.

I read this book in high school en espanol when I was 16 and was so excited to find it on goodreads. A perfect first Spanish read for this impressionable & romantic girl. Very sad but thought provoking as well. Made me think about true beauty and where it lies.
Triste. Es la palabra perfecta para describirlo. Se queda con 3.5
Demasiado fuerte y triste para mi.
Simplemente algo más de realidad. Dura, horrible y realista realidad.
Un gran libro. Con un final triste, pero lindo. Diferente.
Solamente, impactante.

Not the edition I read.
Even though I was "forced" to read this one for school, I quite liked it, and was disappointed when it ended, I wanted more. Sure, it's not one of the greatest pieces of literature, but it's not bad.

Enjoyed the fantastic, surreal description of a dark and depressing world. The dialogues however did not grab me (although they are true to the romantic tragedy). Interesting at any rate.
Saddest book ever. Read it when I was 14 I don't think I recovered.

El libro mas triste que he leido. Lo lei cuando tenia 14 y no creo haberme recuperado.

Nunca olvido a Marianela y en mi casa, cuando vienen las amigas de mi hija, siempre les digo que dormirán en la canasta de Marianela.
it's a good boook and actually it's kind of surprising because of the end of the book avery should rea it!!
Interesantísimo para entender la novela naturalista del siglo XIX. Se lee facilmente de corrido.
Personally I would prefer not to give this novel a single star.
They may say that it's a story of unrequited love that stands out from all the novels of that era for its realism ..... but I think there are better ways to become depressed.

I loved this romantic/cruelty(hehehe).....novel
Es un libro bueno pero muy triste...
Triste desenlace de la Nela.
Very Good Book
Muy emotivo
triste novela
Beautiful, beautiful, I loved it from the very first moment, the language and style are great, but again, I think you need to read it in Spanish. A very romantic tale of an impossible love which never fails to arrest our imagination. The plot provokes an inevitable sad ending written by one of the best Spanish writers.
Que el amor de una persona puede venir de cualquiera persona sin importar condiciones y a igualmente se puede morir de amor, como Marianela, y aunque algunas personas no puedan observar bien a las personas nos indica que es mejor lo interior.
Aaaaaay! Esta es mi novela favorita en español. La leí completa en menos de una semana, pues es como ver una película. Y el final, no es el que yo hubiera escrito, pero sin dudar es una gran lección de vida.
The first time I cried reading a novel was while reading Marianela. The real meaning of love is described in this book.
Great story. Heart wrenching and insightful. It's all about what it means to have self worth. Easy read, hard to put down.
Fue uno de los primeros libros largos que leí :D Me costó trabajo empezarlo, pero lo leí entero y me gustó mucho

Tiene escenas muy conmovedoras, pero no es el estilo que me gusta leer. El discurso del final es un acierto.
It was cute. I really don't understand the ending though. I guess it's just a typical Spanish book, though?
A real tearjerker.
