Torquemada en la hoguera by Benito Pérez Galdós follows Fermín de Pas, a miserly moneylender who becomes entangled in deceit, greed, and moral decay. After amassing wealth through usury, he faces psychological torment and social downfall, symbolizing the corruption of Spain's bourgeoisie. His obsessive love for a young woman leads to humiliation and madness, culminating in a fiery reckoning. A scathing critique of hypocrisy, capitalism, and religious fanaticism, the novel blends realism and irony to expose the destructive power of avarice and misplaced faith.
