Summary: "El Capitán Veneno" by Pedro Antonio de Alarcón is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in a politically charged Madrid in 1848, focusing on the characters' entangled lives during a tumultuous period. The narrative centers on the titular Captain Veneno, a brave but complex character, amid themes of love, conflict, and societal upheaval. At the start of the novel, the political atmosphere is tense, with skirmishes between the army and republicans breaking out on the streets of Madrid.

The initial chapters portray the dynamics between the Captain and the three women in his care, highlighting Angustias's blend of bravery and curiosity, as well as the captain's gruff demeanor.
