GLORIA
A NOVEL
BY
B. PEREZ GALDÓS
From the Spanish by CLARA BELL.
"Señor Perez Galdós is one of the new lights of Spanish literature. He comes very near to being a great novelist; and he certainly is a novelist of exceptional power. What he can do, and also what he cannot do, is shown to English readers in his 'Gloria,' translated by Clara Bell. This story is a presentation of existing social, religious and political conditions in Spain; and as a photograph it is a brilliant success." —Phila. Times, April 30, 1882.
"The Spain which Señor Galdós paints is still the Spain of Sancho Panza, and the spirit of Cervantes is visible in his description of the sacred images in the Chapel."—The Press, Phila., April 11, 1882.
"The literary style of the book is worthy of study. The character drawings are good, the descriptive passages excellent, and there is an exuberance of diction and a richness of simile and comparison that is essentially Spanish."—Boston Post, March 20, 1882.
