  1. 1. Doña Perfecta by Benito Pérez Galdós

    This novel is a vivid portrayal of the clash between progress and tradition, set in a fictional Spanish town. The story centers around a young engineer who arrives with ideas of modernization and progress, only to find himself in conflict with the conservative and deeply religious values upheld by his aunt, the titular character, and the town's society. This conflict escalates into a dramatic struggle that exposes the hypocrisy, intolerance, and moral rigidity of the town, ultimately leading to tragic consequences. Through this narrative, the novel critiques the resistance to change and the destructive nature of fanaticism, reflecting broader social tensions within Spain during the 19th century.
