Davidson, Frederick Joseph Arthur 1870 Davidson, Frederic Joseph Arthur 00002358 Heath's Modern Language Series: José E-text prepared by Juliet Sutherland, Chuck Greif, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "José" by Armando Palacio Valdés is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in the coastal fishing village of Rodillero and revolves around the life of the main character, José, who struggles against the hardships posed by his vixenish mother and the unforgiving nature of the sea, all in pursuit of his beloved, Elisa. Through the narrative, Valdés portrays themes of love, familial conflict, and the daily toil of the fishing community. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the picturesque yet rugged setting of Rodillero, a fishing village that is intricately woven into the life of its inhabitants. As José engages in his daily routine, we learn of his difficult upbringing under the harsh rule of his mother, Teresa, who was scarred by betrayal and raises him with an iron fist. The opening scenes depict the camaraderie among fishermen at sea, contrasted with the complexities of life on land, particularly concerning José's romantic feelings for Elisa, the daughter of the local schoolmaster. This blend of daily struggles, vibrant character dynamics, and budding romance sets the stage for a rich exploration of human resilience in the face of adversity.
