Summary: "La Mare-Balena" by Víctor Català is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds in a coastal village, primarily following Ricardet, the son of a café owner who has endured illness and loss. As Ricardet moves to this new environment, themes of class difference, childhood rivalry, and the struggle against fate emerge as central elements of the story. The opening of "La Mare-Balena" introduces Ricardet and his father, a café owner whose decline in health prompts a return to their native village. Here, Ricardet grapples with feelings of alienation among local children who resent his perceived superiority. He struggles to fit in while also feeling the weight of his father's illness and expectations. As he attempts to join a group of boys planning an adventure to an islet known as Mare-Balena, tensions rise, culminating in a tragic turn of events. This early section sets the stage for exploring Ricardet's development, the harsh realities of childhood competition, and the complexities of familial love amid adversity.
