Overview
Grandes Clásicos Literatura Random House presenta una cuidada edición magistralmente ilustrada de esta novela imprescindible del siglo XIX español.
Escrita en 1892, Tristana se encuadra dentro de la serie de «novelas españolas contemporáneas», un conjunto de obras con las que el autor intentó retratar los usos y las costumbres de la sociedad decimonónica.
Abordando el tema de la emancipación de la mujer, Benito Pérez Galdós nos narra la historia de Tristana, una joven que queda bajo la custodia de don Lope, un donjuán crepuscular que la seduce y destruye su inocencia. Esta mujer, de carácter soñador e idealista, percibe rápidamente la injusticia que supone su condición femenina y pretende liberarse de las circunstancias que la rodean, aunque los intentos emancipadores de la joven, víctima de una sociedad sórdida y represiva, la conducen a un inevitable fracaso.
