| Summary | "Las Furias" by Pío Baroja is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around the life of Pepe Carmona, a sad and introspective merchant living in Málaga, as he recounts his experiences during a politically turbulent time marked by conspiracies and personal struggles. Through his eyes, readers gain insight into the social dynamics of Spain during a time of unrest and change. The opening portion introduces us to a variety of characters, beginning with the narrator, who reflects on his encounters in Málaga while staying at a modest boarding house. We hear vivid conversations featuring a disgruntled judge and the lively discussions about food and political upheavals during a past insurrection. This leads to the narrator's introduction to Pepe Carmona, who offers to share his memories of politically significant events he has witnessed. The narratives evolve, revealing Carmona's background, his bourgeois upbringing, and the upheaval following his father's death, which thrusts him into financial ruin. As the opening unfolds, there is a growing sense of foreboding that intertwines personal misfortune with the broader societal turmoil, setting the stage for the conflicts and pursuits that are likely central to the story.
