Escrito en 1888, el autor retrata, en la Restauraci?n borb?nica espa?ola, una familia, de clase media baja, que vive en las penurias de la falta de un sustento econ?mico familiar; luchando, de misma forma, contra la imagen y la reputaci?n que tienen. En este escenario tan angustioso, entra la tierna imagen infantil de Luisito, que, entre la tensi?n familiar y una enfermedad hereditaria, empieza a tener visiones divinas de un Dios simple y directo, que lo ayuda a entender el desenlace de esta historia. Comparado con Cervantes, Benito P?rez Gald?s es uno de los escritores m?s importantes y reconocidos de Espa?a. Fue incluso nominado al Premio Nobel de Literatura, pero los movimientos pol?ticos que ten?a en esa ?poca hicieron imposible que lo obtuviera.

El ingenio de los mediocres narra el devenir de tres generaciones marcadas por los avatares pol?ticos y econ?micos de nuestra historia reciente y compone un relato cuyos giros argumentales y estilo literario atrapan al lector de principio a fin.
