| Summary | "Mare Nostrum (Our Sea): A Novel" by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez is a fictional narrative likely written in the early 20th century. The novel opens with the introduction of a young boy named Ulysses Ferragut, who is enchanted by tales of history and the sea, particularly the life of an empress and the captivating Mediterranean sea. The opening of the novel establishes Ulysses' early life in Valencia, reflecting on his family background and childhood dreams. His father, Don Esteban Ferragut, an aspiring notary, shares stories of history that spark Ulysses' imagination, particularly concerning Doña Constanza, an empress. Ulysses is characterized as a sensitive boy who is drawn to adventure, both through his tales of the sea and his relationship with his uncle, the doctor, nicknamed "Triton". The narrative captures Ulysses’ longing for a life as a sailor, hinting at his destiny intertwined with the Mediterranean, a recurring theme that evokes historical and mythological richness throughout the novel. The exploration of family dynamics and Ulysses’ adventures sets the stage for a coming-of-age story deeply connected to the identity and beauty of the Mediterranean Sea.
