The novel follows Gabriel de Araceli, a witness to the court intrigues that fuel popular discontent against Manuel Godoy, favorite of Charles IV. The tension erupts in the Aranjuez mutiny of March 19 and leads to the events of May 2 in Madrid, which precipitate the Napoleonic invasion and the uprising of the Spanish people.
The book is the third volume of the first series of the Episodios Nacionales; it was originally published in 1873.
Recommended for readers of classics of Spanish literature and for those interested in the history of Spain and the Peninsular War.
Benito María de los Dolores Pérez Galdós was a Spanish realist novelist and politician. He was a leading literary figure in 19th-century Spain, and some scholars consider him second only to Miguel de Cervantes in stature as a Spanish novelist.
