This work is part of Galdós's "Episodios Nacionales," a series that chronicles Spain's historical events through the eyes of vivid characters. The narrative unfolds amidst the backdrop of Spain's tumultuous political landscape in the 19th century, primarily focusing on the character of Fernando Calpena, a young man arriving in Madrid eager for adventure and opportunity. The opening of the novel introduces Fernando Calpena, who arrives in Madrid and is immediately engulfed in a bustling scene at a local inn. While awaiting a mysterious acquaintance, he reflects on the excitement and peril associated with his new city. He is approached by an unsavory-looking character who reveals that he has been sent to escort him to a guesthouse, raising Fernando's suspicions about his circumstances. Once at the guesthouse, he learns he has been welcomed in a manner fuelled by connections to the influential Mendizábal, a minister central to the political reform efforts in Spain. As Fernando navigates through this unfamiliar world of political intrigue and societal ambition, he begins to forge relationships with his fellow tenants, including a dialogue rich with political commentary that sets the stage for his adventures to unfold.
