(This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive/Canadian Libraries.); Originally published; Spain: Obras de Pérez Galdós, 1903 N2 - "Memorias de un cortesano de 1815" by Benito Pérez Galdós is a novel published in 1875. It chronicles the social ascent of Juan Bragas de Pipaón, an opportunist determined to climb Madrid's social ladder at any cost. Through Pipaón's self-narrated memoirs, Galdós explores the corrupt inner circle surrounding King Ferdinand VII after he seized absolute power in 1814, dissolved the Constitution, and plunged Spain into intellectual ruin. The novel employs a darkly comic tone that distorts reality to reveal the tragic absurdity of Spanish absolutist monarchy. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
