[Jellby]

Benito Pérez Galdós (1843-1920) is considered one of the greatest Spanish novelists. He is best known for his novels depicting the Spanish society of his time, and for the series of historical novel on the Spanish 19th century, "Episodios Nacionales".

"La Fontana de Oro" was his first published novel. It's set during the "Liberal Triennium" (1820-1823), a conflictive period in Spain with a number of conservative intrigues and political tensions between liberals and conservatives. However, the main plot is focused on the story of Clara, an orphan girl fostered by an old royalist, and her relation with Lázaro, a young liberal man she met in a small town.

The text is taken from the Cervantes Virtual Library, but it has been proofread and corrected.
