Benito perez galdos biography of barack obama

Benito Pérez Galdós (May 10, 1843 – January 4, 1920) was a Spanish realist novelist[1†][2†]. Born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Spain[1†][3†][1†], he moved to Madrid at the age of 20 where he spent most of his adult life[1†][2†].

He is regarded as the greatest Spanish novelist since Miguel de Cervantes[1†][3†][1†][4†]. His enormous output of short novels chronicling the history and society of 19th-century Spain earned him comparison with Honoré de Balzac and Charles Dickens[1†][3†][1†].
