Project Gutenberg 2004-09-24 Public domain in the USA. 192 Blasco Ibáñez, Vicente 1867 1928 Ibáñez, Vicente Blasco Blasco Ibanez, Vicente La Tierra de Todos Produced by Stan Goodman, Paz Barrios and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "La Tierra de Todos" by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez is a novel written during the early 20th century. The book introduces readers to the lives of the Marqués de Torrebianca and his wife, Elena, who are living in an extravagant yet perilous financial situation that creates tensions in their relationship. As they navigate the complexities of their lifestyle, the marquis grapples with his honor and mounting debts, while Elena embodies the seductive allure and capricious demands of their social status. The opening of the novel begins with the marquis feeling distressed as he sorts through a pile of letters, revealing his unease about their debts and the extravagant lifestyle maintained by his wife, who delights in social events despite the looming financial crisis. Through his reflections on his family's past and a letter from his mother, we learn of a decaying ancestral estate in Italy that symbolizes lost glory. The narrative introduces the marquis's friend, Manuel Robledo, who represents a contrasting life of adventure and promise, highlighting the stark differences between the couple's superficial existence in Paris and Robledo's ambitious but uncertain endeavors in South America. As the marquis's engagements with Elena and Robledo unfold, the implications of their choices and the burdens of their past become central themes in this richly woven tale.
