Summary: "Los muertos mandan" by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book introduces Jaime Febrer, the last scion of an illustrious family, who grapples with the decline of his ancestral home and his financial troubles. Set against the backdrop of Mallorca's historical legacy, the narrative explores themes of tradition, social class, and personal struggle as Jaime prepares for a significant life change. The opening of the novel begins with an intriguing reflection from the author, detailing his political activism and the inspiration he gathered from the islands of Mallorca and Ibiza, where he aimed to set his story. We meet Jaime Febrer, who wakes up in his grand yet deteriorating ancestral home, burdened by the weight of family history and the realities of his current impoverished existence. As he prepares to go to Valldemosa, we learn of his intention to marry a woman of humble origins, which shocks his longstanding servant, "Madó" Antonia, and sets the stage for potential conflict between social classes and tradition. Amidst his internal struggles and societal expectations, Jaime embodies both the hopes and the burdens of a faded noble lineage. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
