Read

"Nazarín" by Benito Pérez Galdós is a novel published in May 1895. It follows Father Nazario Zaharín, a visionary priest who abandons his comfortable life in Madrid to wander the roads with two devoted disciples. Part Don Quixote and part Christ figure, Nazarín embodies an idealistic, utopian Christianity as he travels through the outskirts of southern Madrid. The novel explores themes of mysticism, poverty, and resistance to society, blurring the line between sainthood and madness.
