Saragossa (Historical Novel)

Benito Pérez Galdós

Synopsis

Benito Pérez Galdós's 'Saragossa' is a captivating historical novel that transports readers to the tumultuous period of the Peninsular War in Spain. Through vivid and detailed descriptions, Galdós paints a vivid picture of the city of Saragossa and the bravery of its inhabitants who defended it against French invaders. The narrative is rich in historical accuracy, immersing readers in the chaos and heroism of the time, while also exploring themes of nationalism and resilience. Galdós's writing style is both engaging and informative, making 'Saragossa' a must-read for history enthusiasts and literature lovers alike. The novel showcases the author's talent for blending fact with fiction, creating a compelling story that sheds light on a lesser-known event in Spanish history. Benito Pérez Galdós, a prominent Spanish realist novelist, drew inspiration from his country's rich history and political turmoil to write 'Saragossa'. With a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of human nature, Galdós masterfully crafted a narrative that captures the spirit of the Spanish people during a time of crisis. His dedication to historical accuracy and his ability to create engaging characters make 'Saragossa' a standout work in his vast literary repertoire. I highly recommend 'Saragossa' to readers who enjoy historical fiction and are interested in exploring the complex dynamics of war and nationalism. Galdós's meticulous research and compelling storytelling make this novel a rewarding and enlightening read that promises to immerse readers in a pivotal moment in Spanish history.

Daddy Was a Number Runner - A Novel

Louise Meriwether

This modern classic is "a tough, tender, bitter novel of a black girl struggling towards womanhood" in 1930s Harlem—with a foreword by James Baldwin (Publishers Weekly). 
 
 
 
Depression-era Harlem is home for twelve-year-old Francie Coffin and her family, and it's both a place of refuge and the source of untold dangers for her and her poor, working class family. The beloved "daddy" of the title indeed becomes a number runner when he is unable to find legal work, and while one of Francie's brothers dreams of becoming a chemist, the other is already in a gang. Francie is a dreamer, too, but there are risks in everything from going to the movies to walking down the block, and her pragmatism eventually outweighs her hope; "We was all poor and black and apt to stay that way, and that was that." 
 
 
 
First published in 1970, Daddy Was a Number Runner is one of the seminal novels of the black experience in America. The New York Times Book Review proclaimed it "a most important novel."
