Mendizábal
'Mendizábal' Summary
Fernando Calpena, un joven idealista, se ve envuelto en los acontecimientos de la Primera Guerra Carlista durante la Regencia de María Cristina. Su amor por una joven llamada Inés, su amistad con el general Mendizábal, y su deseo de servir a su país lo llevan a luchar en la guerra. A través de sus experiencias, Galdós nos ofrece una mirada crítica a la sociedad española de la época, destacando la corrupción, la desigualdad social y la lucha por el poder. La novela también explora la naturaleza del patriotismo, la importancia de la libertad y la búsqueda de la justicia social. Calpena, testigo de la violencia y la crueldad de la guerra, experimenta una transformación personal que lo lleva a cuestionar sus creencias y a luchar por un futuro mejor para su país. En la segunda mitad de la novela, el relato se centra en el contexto político y militar de la guerra, describiendo los movimientos de los diferentes bandos y los sucesos clave de la época. Galdós nos muestra cómo la guerra no solo afecta la vida de los soldados, sino también de la población civil, que sufre las consecuencias de la violencia y la pobreza. A través de la historia de Fernando Calpena, Galdós nos ofrece una visión profunda y compleja de la España del siglo XIX.Book Details
