"Torquemada y San Pedro" by Benito Pérez Galdós is a novel published in 1895. It concludes the story of Francisco Torquemada, a moneylender who rises from miserly usurer to wealthy financier in post-Restoration Madrid. In this final installment, Torquemada inhabits a grand palace with his aristocratic wife Fidela and their unfortunate child, haunted by a missionary he calls San Pedro. The atmosphere grows cold and deathly as the characters face their ultimate
fates in this tragicomic conclusion to Galdós's memorable portrait of avarice and social transformation. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
