Summary "El amigo Manso" by Benito Pérez Galdós is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book introduces us to its central character, Máximo Manso, a 35-year-old philosophy professor who reflects on his non-existence in a philosophical sense before sharing his life and experiences. The narrative hints at themes of education, friendship, and the search for identity, with a focus on Manso's interactions with those around him. The opening of the novel presents a unique metafictional style where Máximo Manso asserts that he does not truly exist, rather he is an artistic creation reflecting the thoughts of his author. This intriguing introduction sets the stage for his character's exploration of self and existence. As Manso delves into his past, we learn about his academic career, his upbringing in an affectionate household, and the influences that shaped his diligent adherence to philosophy and education. The text progresses into his life in Madrid, where he forms a connection with his neighbor, Doña Javiera, and takes on the responsibility of educating her son, Manuel Peña, setting up a narrative that is likely to explore the complexities of mentorship and moral character.
