Published in 1878, 'Marianela' by Benito Pérez Galdós is a novel that explores themes of beauty and social class through the story of a 15-year-old orphan named Marianela, who is in love with Pablo, a blind young man from a wealthy family. As her role as his guide deepens their bond, the narrative takes a poignant turn when Pablo regains his sight, leading to a painful realization about the nature of love and physical appearance. This work is notable for its critique of societal values and the contrast between inner and outer beauty, making it a significant entry in Galdós's 'novelas tesis' series.
