Autorenporträt
Benito Pérez Galdós (1843-1920) was a Spanish author and one of the most significant novelists and playwrights of the 19th century in Spain. His contributions to the literary canon have marked him as a pivotal figure of Spanish Realism, influencing both contemporary and subsequent writers. Born in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Galdós moved to Madrid in 1862, where he began his literary career and where he would set many of his narratives. A prolific author, he wrote more than 30 plays and around 80 novels, among them 'Trafalgar: A Tale,' which is the first book in his ambitious Episodios Nacionales series. This series of historical novels offers a panoramic view of Spanish society, interweaving the fates of fictional characters with historical events. Galdós' 'Trafalgar' vividly re-creates the famous Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, bringing the experience to life through the eyes of a young protagonist. His narrative style is characterized by detailed descriptions and social criticism, delving into socioeconomic issues of his time. Galdós was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature on several occasions but never won. His body of work remains a cornerstone of Spanish literature, continuing to be studied and revered for its historical significance and its portrayal of 19th-century Spanish life.
