Mendizábal by Benito Pérez Galdós

"Mendizábal" by Benito Pérez Galdós is a historical novel written in 1898. The twenty-second installment of the National Episodes series centers on Spain's controversial Desamortization period of 1835-1836, when the progressive government seized and auctioned church properties.
