by Benito Pérez Galdós

Gloria is a novel that delves into the complexities of religious faith and its impact on personal life. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century Spain, the story centers around Gloria, a young woman raised in a deeply Catholic family. As she navigates adulthood, she begins to question the dogmatic beliefs instilled in her since childhood. This internal conflict intensifies when she falls in love with a man whose values challenge her own.
