This novel, considered by Azorín as a summary of Baroja's spirit, presents the author's philosophical and social principles, his reaction to misery and pain, and autobiographical elements that make it a privileged sample of his world. The protagonist, a doctor like Baroja, is impotently confronted with the excesses of a petty and debased society, seeking his own path between physiological determinism and moral rebellion.
