Summary "Morsamor" by Juan Valera is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around a seemingly insignificant character, Fray Miguel de Zuheros, a Franciscan monk who reflects on his life as he grapples with themes of ambition, honor, and spirituality in a rapidly changing Spain during the 16th century. The book delves into the internal struggles of Fray Miguel as he confronts his past failures and the societal transformations occurring around him. The opening of "Morsamor" introduces Fray Miguel de Zuheros, an aging and unremarkable monk who has spent over forty years in the solitude of a convent near Seville. Initially, he is depicted as a figure of mediocrity, having failed to make a mark during his youth as a soldier and poet. As he learns of Spain's recent triumphs and burgeoning influence, Miguel experiences a resurgence of ambition and anguish over his past choices, exacerbated by feelings of envy for the glory being achieved by others. The narrative sets the stage for his internal conflict and the possibility of transformation, especially with the introduction of his fellow monk, Padre Ambrosio, who possesses mysterious knowledge and the potential to revitalize Miguel’s aspirations.
