Those who have read Gloria will, it is hoped, hail with pleasure another work by the same writer, Perez Galdós—different it is true, but in its way not less delightful.
The strongly-marked humor and darkly-painted tragedy of Gloria are not to be found in Marianela; the characters are distinct and crisply sketched, but with a tender hand, the catastrophe is pitiable, rather shocking; the whole tone is idyllic.
Benito Pérez Galdós
