"El Doctor Centeno (Tomo I)" by Benito Pérez Galdós is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story introduces Felipe Centeno, a destitute boy who aspires to become a doctor. Through its vivid descriptions and character interactions, the novel explores themes of poverty, ambition, and the social dynamics of 19th-century Spain. The opening of the novel presents us with Felipe Centeno, a young boy of about thirteen or fourteen years, who is depicted as weak, poorly dressed, and scavenging for food. He is found unconscious after smoking a bad cigar, which leads to a series of events where two law students, Alejandro Miquis and Juan Antonio de Cienfuegos, come across him. They initially mistake Felipe for a drunken child before realizing he is in distress. Their interactions reveal both the naivety and kindness of youth, as they ponder Felipe's situation and eventually decide to help him. This section sets the tone for Felipe's journey, highlighting the stark realities he faces and introducing the compassionate characters who may help him alter his fate.
