Miau es una novela del escritor español Benito Pérez Galdós publicada en 1888, dentro del ciclo de las "Novelas españolas contemporáneas". Enmarcada en el género realista, satiriza el Madrid burocrático de finales del siglo XIX a partir de las vicisitudes vitales de su protagonista, Ramón Villaamil, un competente exempleado del Ministerio de Hacienda, al que una serie de intrigas han dejado cesante Cuando leía las opiniones de algunos hispanistas que decían de Galdós que era el mejor escritor español después de Cervantes, yo tuve mis reservas. Aún las tengo, pero después de leer Miau no puedo negar que este autor es uno de los mejores que tocó nuestra preciada lengua. La psicología de sus personajes está magistralmente desplegada, su prosa es luminosa y una delicia de leer. Aunque los hablantes del español a veces tengamos una rara especie de complejo de inferioridad ante otras literaturas, con Galdós como caballo de batalla decimonónico sí podemos competir contra cualquier Dickens y contra cualquier Dostoievski. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Benito Perez Galdeos' finely-crafted novel, Meow, is a tragi-comedy. It is the story of a middle-aged, middle class middle-manager who does not know how to pull the strings that could get him reinstated to his job in the Spain's civil service, from which he has been laid off with only twomonths to go for him to be eligible for his pension, and save his family from certain poverty. Villaamil is obsessed with the work he used to do and needs still to be doing, not only because his family acutely needs his pension but also because he is particularly good at what he does: but he is onlyrebuffed and ridiculed. Obsessively, compulsively, he returns to his former workplace; buttonholes men whose careers he had once jumpstarted but whose gratitude he does not seem to have retained; is mocked and rejected time and again.Ridicule - and its necessary obverse, egotism - is a central theme to a number of sub-plots concerning the complex intra-familial relationships of various members of the Villaamil family: the ridicule itself functioning as a mask for feelings of insecurity and inferiority. Three subordinatecharacters introduce the reader to the"meow" motif in its first, ironic incarnation: the women in the Villaamil household whose comical facial resemblance to a cat inspired their nickname. But the epithet is later appropriated by Ramon himself when he makes of its letters a series of progressivelydarker acronyms that express his growing desperation and alienation. Galdos'indictment of human frailty, sometimes judgmental, sometimes compassionate, is acutely, psychologically penetrating; and thus his characters are splendidly realized, rounded and recognizable in the modern world.
