Misericordia

Misericordia

by Benito Pérez Galdós

Misericordia is a powerful and unflinching exploration of poverty and social inequality in late 19th-century Madrid. Galdós, through meticulous observation and social commentary, paints a vivid picture of the city's underbelly, delving into the lives of its most vulnerable inhabitants: the mendicant, the marginalized, and those struggling for survival. With unflinching realism, the novel portrays the harsh realities of poverty, highlighting both the desperation and resilience of those living on the fringes of society.
