Summary

Descripción - Description

La novela en el tranvía es un divertido e imaginativo cuento de Benito Pérez Galdós en el que acompañamos a su desconocido protagonista en el recorrido de la primera línea de tranvía que existió en Madrid, entre la calle Serrano y el desaparecido barrio de Pozas. En el tiempo que dura el trayecto, realidad y ficción van entremezclándose de manera explosiva, mientras se va desvelando la trama de un crimen pasional, a medio camino entre la ensoñación y la verdad, en el corazón de un Madrid que toma cuerpo en los viajeros que suben y bajan del tranvía. Se puede decir que el protagonista de esta historia es un Alonso Quijano Galdosiano que se juega la cordura por la vía de la curiosidad y la imaginación. Si alguna vez pensó que Benito Pérez Galdós era un autor muy serio y antiguo, sus cuentos le sorprenderán.

La novela en el tranvía is an amusing and imaginative short story (cuento) by Benito Pérez Galdós in which we accompany its unknown protagonist on the route of the first tramway line that existed in Madrid, between Serrano Street and the disappeared neighborhood of Pozas. During the journey, reality and fiction intermingle in an explosive way, while the plot of a crime of passion is unveiled, halfway between reverie and truth, in the heart of a Madrid that takes shape in the travelers who get on and off the streetcar. It can be said that the protagonist of this story is a Galdosian Alonso Quijano who stakes his sanity on curiosity and imagination. If you ever thought that Benito Pérez Galdós was a very serious and old-fashioned author, his stories will surprise you.
