Miau by Benito Pérez Galdós
"Miau" by Benito Pérez Galdós is a novel published in 1888. Set in bureaucratic Madrid after the Bourbon Restoration, it follows Ramón Villaamil, a civil servant dismissed from the Ministry of Treasury following a change in political power. As his family struggles with dwindling finances and fractured relationships, his mystical grandson Luisito experiences visions of God—a strangely vulgar deity who makes increasingly grim promises about the old man's fate. This realist satire
explores the precarious lives of Spain's administrative class through domestic tragedy and dark comedy. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
