NATIONAL EPISODES: SPAIN WITHOUT KING / TRAGIC SPAIN. Pérez Galdós, Benito

National Episodes, Final Series. Two novels bound in a single volume. The great narrative frieze of the National Episodes served as a vehicle for Benito Pérez Galdós (1843-1920) to recreate in it, romantically linked, the totality of the complex life of the Spaniards - wars, politics, daily life, popular reactions - to what throughout the turbulent 19th century.

SPAIN WITHOUT A KING portrays the Spain that follows the dethronement of Isabel II, in which various political and dynastic interests are debated through a fictional plot that is intertwined with the political events and the parliamentary debate of 1869, in which it is already suspected a new Carlist war.

TRAGIC SPAIN continues with the historical swarm of Spain in 1869, defined as Spain "between two triads" by the main character driving the plot, Vicente Halconero, a bibliophile and shy like Galdós himself.
