Summary: "La condenada (cuentos)" by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez is a collection of short stories likely written during the early 20th century. The book explores themes of despair, societal issues, and human struggles, with the opening story centering on Rafael, a condemned man facing his impending execution while trapped in a suffocating cell. The opening of the work introduces Rafael, who has been imprisoned for fourteen months, grappling with the unbearable solitude and the oppressive cleanliness of his cell, which intensifies his mental anguish. Despite his initial bravado and thoughts of his past life filled with power and admiration, he finds himself haunted by fear and longing for freedom as he awaits the news of his fate.
