"The City of the Discreet" by Pío Baroja is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in the picturesque Spanish city of Córdoba and revolves around the character Quentin García Roelas, who returns to his hometown after spending years in England. The book explores themes of identity, cultural contrasts, and social dynamics, as Quentin navigates his new life amidst memories and expectations of his family and home. At the start of the narrative, Quentin arrives in Córdoba by train, expressing his disappointment over the dreary weather that contrasts sharply with his memories of the sun-bleached town. The opening chapter introduces a variety of characters during his train ride, including a curious Frenchman, which highlights the cultural misunderstandings between the Spanish and foreigners. Upon reaching his family home, Quentin is greeted warmly by his mother and siblings, and he begins to reconnect with his childhood memories while grappling with his sense of belonging. The initial scenes effectively set the tone for a journey of self-discovery, filled with humorous exchanges and poignant reflections on his roots and aspirations.
