Summary
A classic nineteenth-century novel recounts the battle between hypocritical Do$na Perfecta and her nephew, an engineer who attempts to open the city of Orbajosa to modern times.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Pepe Rey llega a la "salvaje" Orbajosa, "pueblo enano y por eso soberbio feudo donde impera la viuda doña Perfecta, su tÃa paterna. Pepe Rey, ingeniero de 34 años, se dirige allá para conocer a su prometida Rosario, hija única de doña Perfecta, quien tiene fama de dama muy virtuosa, y a tomar posesión de Los Alamillos de Bustamante, tierras fértiles que habÃa heredado de su madre. Aquel casamiento habÃa sido idea del padre de Pepe Rey, lo que aprueba y comparte doña Perfecta. Cuando el joven llega al pequeño pueblo, su tÃa y Rosario lo reciben con muestras sinceras de cariño y agrado. Su venida, en cambio, no es bien acogida por el canónigo de la catedral, don Inocencio, consejero espiritual de doña Perfecta y asiduo tertulio de su casa. Este malestar y antipatÃa se deben a que la sobrina del canónigo, MarÃa Remedios, es madre de Jacintillo, flamante abogado al que ambos pretenden casar con Rosario. Don Inocencio, conservador y ortodoxo, choca de inmediato con las ideas progresistas de Pepe Rey y se las ingenia para que el joven también entre en puma con las convicciones ultraclericales de su tÃa y con las de otros lugareños desconfiados y supersticiosos, hostiles y soberbios como la mayorÃa de los habitantes de Orbajosa, en quienes predomina un criterio arcaico y cerrado frente a la ciencia y al progreso que defiende el joven ingeniero. Entonces, el canónigo y doña Perfecta entablan contra Pepe Rey una guerra sorda e hipócrita, cuyo pretexto es el supuesto ateÃsmo que le atribuyen, sin que aquél haya dado motivo alguno para semejantes acusaciones. Ambos fomentan intrigas y escándalos, pleitos entre Pepe Rey y los colindantes de sus tierras, murmuraciones en su contra, destitución del cargo oficial que éste trae, expulsión de la catedral por supuestas irreverencias, hasta que doña Perfecta termina por recluir a Rosario en su habitación para que no pueda verse con su prometido. Finalmente echa a éste de la casa porque "era una inmunda gusanera de pleitos."

About: Benito Pérez Galdós (1843-1920) was a prolific Spanish realist novelist, who through a lack of good translations is virtually unknown outside Spain, though he has been compared as second only to Cervantes in Spanish literature and whose work is considered to give the deepest, truest, most comprehensive realities of Spain.
