Description: Miau by Yasmira Cedeno, Benito Pérez Galdós Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Miau es una novela del escritor español Benito Pérez Galdós publicada en 1888, dentro del ciclo de las "Novelas españolas contemporáneas". Enmarcada en el género realista, satiriza el Madrid burocrático de finales del siglo XIX a partir de las vicisitudes vitales de su protagonista, Ramón Villaamil, un competente ex-empleado del Ministerio de Hacienda, al que una serie de intrigas han dejado cesante. En el escenario del Madrid galdosiano de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, ya restaurada la monarquía borbónica, dos familias del entorno de la Administración del Estado comparten éxitos y fracasos. "Madrid es el mundo, y el empleado, el hombre. Morir es quedar cesante". El pulso narrativo, el mismo que en la historia de la literatura europea se hará angustioso con Dostoievski y alucinante con Kafka, palpita en Miau siguiendo el péndulo vital de un reloj anclado en un piso madrileño de la baja burguesía "con sus olores, sus ruidos -la sartén, la escoba, el canto de las mujeres-, sus ventanas y balcones por donde entra la luz de Madrid, que eleva todo a rango de arte". En ese escenario doméstico entran y salen, además de Villaamil: Doña Pura, la mujer del cesante, que despilfarra el menguante presupuesto forma coro de inÚtiles con Milagros, hermana de Villaamil, y Abelarda, la apocada e inestable hija del protagonista. El contrapunto lo ponen dos varones antitéticos, Víctor Cadalso -el malo de esta tragicomedia-, viudo, funcionario en ascenso gracias a sus vicios personales, y su hijo, nieto de Villaamil, Luisito.
