"Doña Perfecta" by Benito Pérez Galdós is a novel published in 1876. When Pepe Rey, a progressive engineer from Madrid, arrives in the provincial town of Orbajosa to marry his cousin Rosario, he encounters unexpected hostility from his aunt Doña Perfecta and the local priest. What begins as a promised union between cousins spirals into a clash between modern progress and religious intolerance, between enlightenment and fanaticism. This conflict of worldviews transforms
a family arrangement into tragedy. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
