Episodios Nacionales
(1873-1912), a series of 46 historical novels.
Benito Pérez Galdós was a Spanish realist novelist. Some authorities consider him second only to Cervantes in stature as a Spanish novelist. He was the leading literary figure in 19th century Spain.
Galdós was a prolific writer, publishing 31 novels, 46 Episodios Nacionales (National Episodes), 23 plays, and the equivalent of 20 volumes of shorter fiction, journalism and other writings. He remains popular in Spain, and galdosistas (Galdós researchers) considered him Spain's equal to Dickens, Balzac and Tolstoy. As recently as 1950, few of his works were available translated to English, although he has slowly become popular in the Anglophone world.
While his plays are generally considered to be less successful than his novels, Realidad (1892) is important in the history of realism in the Spanish theatre.

Es un magnífico repaso a la historia de España del siglo XIX. Escrito de una forma muy amena, ya que va mezclando los hechos históricos con personajes de ficción cuyas historias personales enganchan con facilidad al lector.
A lo largo del libro se analizan ampliamente las capas sociales medias y altas, las eternas luchas entre los conservadores y los liberales, el poder de la Iglesia y el clero, los pronunciamientos militares, la masa de gente que solo busca encontrar un puesto en el siguiente gobierno tras haber sido cesado por el anterior.
Todo el libro está escrito con un estilo ágil y con sentido del humor, que facilita su lectura a pesar de la extensión de la obra.
