A Dickensian tale of ambition, family, and financial ruin by the most important Spanish novelist after Cervantes, this tragicomic novel about a patriarch struggling to keep his ungrateful family from ruin is at turns scathing and hilarious.
Ramón Villaamil has been a loyal civil servant his whole life, but a change in government leaves him out of a job and still two months short of qualifying for his pensionInitially optimistic that hell be able to find work and pull his family out of their financial straits, he spends his days visiting the Administration, pestering his ex-colleagues to put in a good word for him, and begging his friends in high places for money. At home, Villaamils wife, daughter, and sister-in-lawwhose feline appearances earn them the nickname the Miaowsare unimpressed by Villaamils failures, and the only joy left in Villaamils life is his young grandson Luis.
When Luiss disgraced father, the handsome and dastardly Víctor Cadalso reappears in their lives with promises of easing their financial burdens, Villaamil has no choice but to allow him back into their midst, even as he knows there is nothing pure about Víctors intentions, and that his return could bring them all to ruin.
Comparable to the best of Balzac and Dickens, Benito Pérez Galdóss satire of lower middle-class life offers a scathing critique of the hypocrisy and corruption within nineteenth-century Spanish society as well as a potent exploration of the value of human life outside of workMargaret Jull Costas inimitable translation captures all the tragicomic vitality of Pérez Galdóss prose, and proves that he is indeed the best Spanish writer of the nineteenth century (Mario Vargas Llosa).
