Description

"Bailén" by Benito Pérez Galdós immerses readers in the Napoleonic era, unfolding the dramatic events surrounding the Battle of Bailén in 1808. Through vivid characters and historical detail, the novel captures the intense struggles, patriotic fervor, and the spirit of resistance during a pivotal moment in Spain's fight against French occupation.

Author

Benito Pérez Galdós (1843–1920) is the great realist of nineteenth-century Spain — a novelist often ranked with Dickens, Balzac, and Tolstoy, and second only to Cervantes in Spanish stature. Fortunata y Jacinta turned Madrid's streets, tenements, and drawing rooms into a complete human world; the Episodios Nacionales retold the nation's history as story rather than monument.
