| Summary | "Marianela" by Benito Pérez Galdós is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in rural Spain and revolves around the interactions of its titular character, Marianela, with a blind young man named Pablo and his blind companion, as they navigate the harsh realities of their lives and explore themes of beauty, love, and societal neglect. The opening of the novel introduces Teodoro Golfin, a stout and rugged middle-aged traveler who has lost his way on a journey to the mines of Socartes. After expressing his frustrations about being alone in a desolate area, he hears a beautiful singing voice, which leads him to encounter a blind boy named Pablo and his dog, Choto. Pablo, who has remarkable navigation skills despite his blindness, guides Golfin through a mysterious landscape of mines and caves, offering insights on the world around them, and introducing the enigmatic figure of Marianela, a girl who works as both Pablo’s guide and companion. This beginning sets the tone for a poignant exploration of social themes, human connection, and the contrasts between sight and perception. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
