| Summary |
"Los cien mil hijos de San Luis" by Benito Pérez Galdós is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set during the turbulent period of Spanish politics involving conspiracies, royalists, and revolutions, centered around the character Jenara, who becomes entangled in the machinations surrounding the royalists' efforts to regain power after the liberal wave brought by the Constitution of Cadiz. At the start of the novel, the author introduces details about the historical context in which the story unfolds, mentioning a manuscript that Jenara possesses, which outlines events leading up to her involvement in a conspiracy against the revolutionary forces. The beginning explores her initial interactions with General Eguía in Bayona, along with her reflections on the characters and political dynamics in play. Jenara’s desire to assist the royalist cause and her tumultuous emotional state provide a compelling backdrop for the narrative, hinting at themes of loyalty, political intrigue, and the consequences of personal choices amid national strife.
