"Gloria" by Benito Pérez Galdós is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in the fictional Spanish village of Ficóbriga, focusing on the life of a young woman named Gloria, whose character is lively and full of curiosity. The narrative hints at themes of love and societal expectations, particularly as Gloria engages with her father and the impending arrival of her uncle, a bishop. The opening of "Gloria" introduces the picturesque setting of Ficóbriga, a coastal village with a vibrant landscape shaped by the sea and agriculture. It establishes the background through vivid descriptions of the town and its surroundings, showcasing Gloria's anxious anticipation for her uncle's visit. We meet her father, D. Juan de Lantigua, who embodies a serious yet caring presence, imparting wisdom to Gloria, who is characterized by her restlessness and desire for action. This dynamic sets the stage for Gloria's internal conflicts regarding expectations of marriage and her contemplation of life's choices, while the arrival of her uncle brings new possibilities and challenges for her future.
