A Spanish novelist; born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, May 10, 1845. He went to Madrid when a lad to study law; but instead began writing plays, till their persistent rejection by managers caused him to try novel-writing, in which he established his fame and his fortune. "The Fountain of Gold" is the first, and "Electra" is one of the latest, of a long series of novels demonstrating that, as regards life, "few see it more clearly than Galdos".
