About this book

"Electra" by Benito Pérez Galdós is a five-act play premiered on January 30, 1901. The work reimagines the classical Greek myth as a fierce critique of the Catholic Church's growing influence in Spain. A young heroine confronts centuries of religious oppression and fanaticism in a drama that sparked national scandal. The premiere ignited passionate confrontations between liberals and conservatives, with audiences erupting in cheers and protests. Inspired by a real-life controversy involving a young woman and a convent, the play became a cultural and political flashpoint.
