El personaje central de EL AMIGO MANSO es una mas de esas figuras imborrables del universo creado por Benito Perez Galdos (1843-1920) en su gran ciclo de novelas espanolas contemporaneas. Asturiano avecindado en Madrid, catedratico de Filosofia de filiacion krausista y devoto expositor de la estetica hegeliana, Maximo Manso es la encarnacion de la postura contemplativa ante la vida y un ejemplo de rectitud, tolerancia, comprension y suave escepticismo. En la existencia de este profesor solitario, celibe y misogino, sin embargo, terminan por irrumpir con vigor las fuerzas del mundo exterior que una decision abstracta habia tratado inutilmente de contener o suprimir.
