Resumen
El Doctor Centeno (Tomo I) is the first part of Benito Pérez Galdós’s novel focusing on the formative years of Felipe Centeno, a poor provincial boy who moves to Madrid with dreams of becoming a doctor.
This first volume introduces us to his early struggles: poverty, complex social entanglements, and the bitter lessons of city life.
It is a deeply human story about growing up, social ambition, and the subtle cruelties of the world, told through the lens of one of Spain’s greatest realist novelists.
