However, "La Nela" never dare to describe herself to Pablo, so he didn't know how Marianela looked like, but since she has a kind voice and she is always gentle with him, Pablo guessed that she must be really beautiful. Pablo, the blind boy, is really happy with the guideness of "La Nela" since she becames the "eyes" of him and the whole world takes shape in the mind of Pablo thanks to the descriptions and comments by Marianela. Marianela is very ugly and deformed, and also she isn't very skillful in any normal chore in the states so she ended as the guide of the state's owner's young son, who is a blind. Marianela lives along with the foreman's family of a rich state where the mining is the main industry there. Marianela is a tragic but lovely story about a poor orphan girl whose name was Marianela but almost all people called her "La Nela" (an usual form to call women with that particular name for short). This book was written by Benito Pérez Galdós, that he was a famous writer from Spain. I had to read this novel as part of the Spanish program when I was in high school. First, you will find the English version and after that one, you will find the Spanish version.
