During the second siege of Zaragoza (1808-1809), Gabriel de Araceli, escaped en route to captivity in France, experiences the city's resistance against Napoleon's army. Galdós blends assaults, bombardments and epidemics with the love between Agustín de Montoria and María Candiola, and reflects on patriotism, fanaticism and the horror of war.
