Benito Pérez Galdós fue un hombre de gran cultura y vitalidad, ávido lector de la literatura inglesa y francesa de su época, y amante de las artes. Su obra narrativa, enmarcada en el realismo, supera este esquema y, como antes hiciera Cervantes, creó vidas y mundos de ficción en los que lo real se muestra en perpetuo conflicto entre la razón y el corazón. Doña perfecta, novela fundamental para comprender su obra, nos muestra los contrastes entre los conservadores y los liberales del siglo XIX en España, a la vez que hace una crítica de los tradicionalistas.

Dorothea Brooke is an ardent idealist who represses her vivacity and intelligence for the cold, theological pedant Casaubon. One man understands her true nature: the artist Will Ladislaw. But how can love triumph against her sense of duty and Casaubon’s mean spirit? Meanwhile, in the little world of Middlemarch, the broader world is mirrored: the world of politics, social change, and reforms, as well as betrayal, greed, blackmail, ambition, and disappointment.

The Late Mattia Pascal is a 1904 novel by Luigi Pirandello. It is one of his best-known works. The narrator-protagonist is a young Italian man who, after his father’s death, sees his family ruined by a mean swindler, the man who was supposed to help them. Mattia finds himself in a miserable social condition. He feels that his promising youth has vanished into a dreary dead-end job and a unhappy marriage: His wife doesn’t love him; his mother-in-law, with whom he lives, hates him. So Mattia leaves to Monte Carlo, where he wins a lot of money in a casino.

Publisher's Summary
Marianela era una muchachita huérfana, que vivía en las minas de un lugar llamado Socartes. Estaba debilucha y fea. Se había acostumbrado al rechazo de todos; incluso creía que “no servía para nada”, hasta que se convirtió en el lazarillo de un gallardo joven llamado Pablo, quien le hizo saber que su bondad y ternura la convertían en una persona hermosa. La Nela, como le decían, consideraba que su misión en el mundo era la de convertirse en los “ojos” de Pablo; mientras que él, que era ciego de nacimiento, aseguraba que no podía vivir sin ella y que la haría su esposa. Sin embargo, un buen día llegó hasta ese lugar uno de los mejores médicos de ojos: Teodoro Golfín, quien provocaría que la vida de los jóvenes cambiara totalmente.

No es la novela integra.
En la descripción aparece que el libro es "unabridged" es decir integro, pero claramente está resumido. Este libro originalmente consta de 227 páginas pero este solo es un audio de 35 minutos. Entonces se queda muy corto a la obra original, ya que en lugar de ser una novela, pareciera más bien un cuento corto, que no llega a transmitir el tema o las ideas originales del autor.

The wealthy Shaws’ way of life is foreign to Polly who tries to adapt but is quickly labeled “old-fashioned”.
