Armando Palacio Valdés, Tomo 7. Produced by Stan Goodman, Virginia Paque and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "La Espuma" by Armando Palacio Valdés is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story is set in Madrid and centers around the lives of high society, introducing a range of characters who navigate their social contexts, romantic entanglements, and the intricacies of their relationships. The opening of "La Espuma" establishes a vivid scene on a sunny afternoon in Madrid's Serrano street, where a beautifully dressed lady catches the attention of passersby. As she walks with a sense of pride and distaste for the attention, she attracts the gaze of a young admirer, setting into motion a series of uncomfortable encounters between them. This initial tension builds as the woman, later identified as Clementina, tries to shake off her youthful pursuer while we are simultaneously introduced to a larger social framework of characters gathered in the home of the Calderón family. The interactions among these characters hint at underlying themes of social rivalry, courtship, and the playful yet serious dynamics of love and relationships that characterize the narrative.
