Memorias de un cortesano de 1815
'Memorias de un cortesano de 1815' Summary
Juan de Pipaón, un hombre de origen humilde, relata su ascenso social en la corte madrileña durante el reinado de Fernando VII. A través de sus memorias, el lector se adentra en la vida del cortesano, sus estrategias para obtener favores y su búsqueda de influencia en el entorno real. Galdós utiliza la figura de Pipaón como espejo para reflejar la corrupción, la hipocresía y la ambición que imperaban en la España de la época. Se exponen las intrigas políticas, las relaciones amorosas y los juegos de poder que se desarrollaban en la corte, mostrando la fragilidad de las apariencias y el verdadero rostro de aquellos que aspiraban a la cima del poder. La narración se caracteriza por el humor mordaz y la crítica social, utilizando el sarcasmo para denunciar la decadencia y la falta de moralidad que reinaban en la sociedad.Book Details
