Is Nazarin a latter-day Christ or a Quixotic fool? Saintly, mysterious, irritating, he attampts to set up an alternative society based on non-resistance to evil and the rejection of private property--often with hilarious results. A strikingly modern work, it is at once a serious discussion of the roots of Christianity, an exploration of abnormal psychology, a critique of bourgeois materialism, and a brilliant exercise in comedy. This new translation does full justice to the richness and rhythm of Galdos's style, and makes available for the first time in English this important late work of Spain's greatest nineteenth-century novelist.

A beautiful young woman, Isidora Rufete, comes to Madrid with what she believes is documentary proof that she and her brother Mariano are the illegitimate grandchildren of the Marquesa de Aransis. She is prepared to risk all for the man she loves, and for her dream of nobility.
