"Torquemada en la hoguera" by Benito Pérez Galdós is a novella published in 1889. It introduces Francisco Torquemada, a ruthless moneylender who preys on Madrid's residents during the early years of the Restoration. Galdós, himself a victim of usurers, crafts a darkly comic portrait of one of literature's great misers. The story opens with an almost comic allegory of the Spanish Inquisition, setting the stage for this tale of greed and its
consequences in post-Isabella Madrid. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
