Cádiz

by Benito Pérez Galdós

Cádiz, the eighth installment in Benito Pérez Galdós's *Episodios Nacionales*, continues the story of Spain's struggle against Napoleonic rule. The novel focuses on the siege of Cádiz, a key city in the defense of Spain. Within this historical backdrop, Galdós interweaves the personal stories of several characters: Gabriel, a young man entangled in a web of romantic complexities, and Inés, a woman caught between the desires of her family and the attentions of a charming English lord. Their lives intersect with the political turmoil surrounding the siege, creating a tapestry of love, intrigue, and societal clashes in a time of national upheaval.
