"El préstamo de la difunta" by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Rosalindo Ovejero, a young gaucho who embarks on a journey from his mountainous village to the city of Salta to participate in a religious procession. He carries with him the hopes and prayers of his fellow villagers, who entrust him with the task of lighting candles for their spiritual needs, showcasing the blend of faith and community that resonates throughout the narrative. The opening of the novel introduces us to Rosalindo as he prepares for his journey, reflecting on the traditions of his community and the decline of prosperity in their lives. As he navigates through the preparations for the procession, the reader witnesses the rich tapestry of local folklore, faith, and societal change. The narrative takes a darker turn with the mention of a violent encounter in the city, which leads to a fateful decision for Rosalindo as he flees to escape the consequences of his actions. This sets the stage for his arduous journey through the harsh landscapes of the Andes, where themes of survival, identity, and the supernatural thread through his quest to repay a mysterious debt to the titular "difunta."
