Summary: "Josafat" by Prudenci Bertrana is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the character Josafat, a young man with a devout spirit and a complex relationship with faith and desire, as he navigates his calling to the priesthood and his struggles with temptation and isolation. The opening of the novel introduces the somber and mystical environment surrounding the church of Santa Maria, particularly focusing on the campanario, where Josafat lives and serves as the campanero. Described as a tall and tormented figure, Josafat is depicted in a state of introspection, burdened by his aspirations, ambitions, and desires. He is portrayed as someone who struggles with the sanctity of his religious duties amidst the allure of the outside world, especially represented by the women who tempt him. The chapter sets a dark and oppressive tone, emphasizing not only Josafat's inner conflict but also foreshadowing the moral dilemmas he will face throughout the narrative.
