dc.description	Amidst the great turmoil, appalling conditions and ineffable hardships of impoverished nineteenth-century Spain, the realist writer Benito Pérez Galdós brilliantly weaves a tale of humanity and friendship in Misericordia, a story about the compassion, unfaltering loyalty and devotion of the main character, Benina, towards her neighbors. The plot revolves strategically around the lowest and most economically deprived social group, the beggars, thus separating Galdós's Misericordia from the work of his contemporaries. In this fictional work, the lower class is given great social visibility via Benina, who constitutes the embodiment of all the values, ideology and principles the writer seeks to praise and emphasize in the story.	ca-ES

dc.description	Entre el tumulto bullicioso, la omnipresente desolación y el caos vesánico y disruptivo que produce la inefable miseria económica de la España decimonónica, el escritor Benito Pérez Galdós nos presenta en Misericordia un relato único sobre el valor y la verdadera significación de la empatía, la humanidad y la compasión hacia el vecino a través de Benina, su protagonista. Misericordia constituye una excepción significativa tanto dentro de la obra de Galdós como en la narrativa de sus coetáneos, al ser de las pocas novelas que tienen como protagonista y visibilizan, con toda la crudeza y realismo de la paupérrima vida de escasez, soledad y privaciones del indigente, a la capa social matritense más baja, los mendigos.	es-ES
