You could also try some from Benito Pérez Galdós ("Fortunata y Jacinta", for example). I like a lot Galdós... it find him similar to Victor Hugo.

Regarding "alive" authors, you could try something from Eduardo Mendoza, or Gonzalo Torrente Ballester ("Crónica del rey pasmado" is short and quite funny). But I'm afraid they are not avalaible as ebooks.

Hope this helps,

Thanks a lot ! Exactly what I hoped !
Now I have some downloading work to do, and no excuse not to progress !
