The Spanish Jade
Produced by Al Haines
"The Spanish Jade" by Maurice Hewlett is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story elements suggest a historical adventure set in 19th-century Spain, weaving through themes of love, revenge, and cultural identity. The narrative begins with two contrasting protagonists: Estéban, a young, impetuous Spanish man on a quest fueled by vengeance, and Osmund Manvers, an English gentleman exploring the Spanish landscape for pleasure. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to Estéban, who rides through the sunlit plains of Castile, contemplating a dark mission to find and confront a young woman named Manuela. He feels a mixture of anger and longing for her after she abandoned him at a fair. Shortly after, the point of view shifts to Osmund Manvers, an English traveller enjoying the sights and sounds of Spain. As the two characters' paths begin to intertwine, the tension builds, suggesting a tale rich with conflict and emotional depth, set against the backdrop of a vivid Spanish landscape. The stage is set for a story that explores the complexities of human relationships against societal and personal struggles, promising both romance and drama.
