The story introduces Shanti Andía, who reflects on his life experiences, particularly his childhood and the influence of the sea, which shapes both his character and outlook on life. Through a combination of personal memories and profound observations about the nature of existence, the novel explores themes of ambition, identity, and the allure of the maritime world. The opening of the novel sets the stage with Shanti's musings on the mundanity of modern life and a desire to escape the drudgery that envelops both him and his peers. He candidly declares that his life has been marked by distinct moments that left their mark on him, prompting him to write his memories, which he sees as a reflection of a time now past. This self-reflection is mixed with humor and skepticism, revealing his indifference to the pursuit of glory and recognition. As he recalls his life in Lúzaro and his relationship with family members, particularly his aunt Úrsula, Baroja paints a vivid portrait of Shanti's formative years, filled with imaginative tales and a deep-seated longing for adventure, which intertwine with the influence of the sea, creating a rich backdrop for the unfolding narrative.
