The story takes place in Socartes, a small village, and Aldeacorba, where Pable lives with his father don Francisco PenÁguilas. The PenÁguilas family enjoy their growing wealth, and Pablo is happy passing the time with Nela his guide. Nela is a poor orphan who lives with the family of Centeno, the foreman of the local mines. She is mistreated and only feels happy when she is accompanying Pablo. They feel a profound love, and Pablo promises to marry her. Pablo believes that Marianela is a woman of extraordinary beauty. However, don Teodoro GolfÍn, a famous opthalmologist, has been called to Socartes in order to cure Pablo. Why has nature, which is filled to the brim with good materials, denied him the only thing that can make him happy? Pablo's operation and treatment lead to a dramatic conclusion for he and his love Marianela.

Benito Pérez Galdós

Benito Pérez Galdós (1843-1920) was a Spanish novelist. Born in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, he was the youngest of ten sons born to Lieutenant Colonel Don Sebastián Pérez and Doña Dolores Galdós. Educated at San Agustin school, he travelled to Madrid to study Law but failed to complete his studies. In 1865, Pérez Galdós began publishing articles on politics and the arts in La Nación. His literary career began in earnest with his 1868 Spanish translation of Charles Dickens’ Pickwick Papers. Inspired by the leading realist writers of his time, especially Balzac, Pérez Galdós published his first novel, La Fontana de Oro (1870). Over the next several decades, he would write dozens of literary works, totaling 31 fictional novels, 46 historical novels known as the National Episodes, 23 plays, and 20 volumes of shorter fiction and journalism. Nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature five times without winning, Pérez Galdós is considered the preeminent author of nineteenth century Spain and the nation’s second greatest novelist after Miguel de Cervantes. Doña Perfecta (1876), one of his finest works, has been adapted for film and television several times.
