Benito Perez Galdos has been described as 'the greatest Spanish novelist since Cervantes.' His work constitutes a major contribution to the nineteenth-century novel, rivalling that of Dickens of Balzac and making him an essential candidate for any course on the fiction of the period. Jo Labanyi's study is supported by a wide-rangting introduction, a section of contemporary comment, headnotes to each piece and helpful appendix material.

Las cuatro obras de Benito Pérez Galdós (1843-1920) agrupadas en este volumen bajo el título de LAS NOVELAS DE TORQUEMADA tienen en común la figura de su protagonista y el marco histórico de la España de la Restauración. El núcleo dramático de «Torquemada en la hoguera» es la conmoción espiritual que la grave enfermedad de su hijo produce en el prestamista; «Torquemada en la cruz», «Torquemada en el Purgatorio» y «Torquemada y San Pedro» narran el vertiginoso ascenso social del antiguo usurero, que se convierte en marqués por su enlace matrimonial con una aristócrata arruinada, es nombrado senador del Reino y acumula una enorme fortuna mediante especulaciones financieras.

Benito Pérez Galdós has long been considered the Spanish Tolstoy; however, unlike those of his Russian counterpart, few of his works are available in English--and fewer still are the subjects of serious literary scholarship. This book approaches one of the author's most memorable characters, Madrid moneylender Francisco Torquemada, and considers the extent to which notions of profit, efficiency, and utility inform the Torquemada series--juxtaposing nineteenth-century understandings of waste and profit with contemporary economic ideas in order to better comprehend the writer and his world.
