QR code
**Tormento** by Benito Pérez Galdós is a novel published in 1884. Set in Madrid during the final months before Queen Isabel II's overthrow, it follows Amparo Sánchez Emperador, a young orphan caught between a disgraced priest's obsessive pursuit and a reformed businessman returned from America. This tormented triangle unfolds against the backdrop of Madrid's struggling bourgeoisie, where secrets, blackmail, and social pretensions collide. Critics have interpreted the story as an allegory of
Spain itself, trapped between corruption and the promise of redemption. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
