"El Grande Oriente" by Benito Pérez Galdós is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of Spain's political landscape, following the life of Don Patricio Sarmiento, a schoolmaster who grapples with the challenges of educating children in a turbulent society. The story intricately weaves themes of patriotism, liberalism, and societal upheaval, as various characters interact around the focal issues of the time, particularly the roles of freedom and tyranny. The opening of the novel introduces us to the world of Don Patricio Sarmiento and the political tension in Madrid during the year 1821. A vibrant classroom setting quickly transitions into a tumultuous scene outside as the townspeople react to political events, sparking a riot. As Sarmiento guides his students through lessons of ancient history, the disruptions of the world outside—clamors for revolution and freedom—are foreshadowed. He and his students are depicted as being caught in the crossfire of ideological battles, as Sarmiento expresses his disdain for the political powers thwarting progress and education. The beginning establishes an urgent and lively atmosphere, hinting at the trials the characters will face amidst their personal and collective aspirations for a more liberal and just society.
