| Summary | "El manco de Lepanto" by Manuel Fernández y González is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story intricately weaves the life of the famed writer Miguel de Cervantes with romantic and comedic elements set against the backdrop of 16th-century Spanish society. Cervantes, while exploring themes of love and misadventure, engages with a beautiful widow named Doña Guiomar, whose life is filled with secrets and troubles. The opening of the novel introduces us to a barbershop in Seville, operated by a man known only as "Viváis-mil-años." He is a colorful character who enjoys his trade, socializing with neighbors, and dabbling in mysterious concoctions. One day, he notices a noblewoman visiting a house with a dubious reputation, rumored to be haunted. As he becomes fascinated by the widow Doña Guiomar, the narrative hints at the intrigues and romances that will unfold, particularly as Cervantes enters the scene, promising a mix of adventure, comedy, and love entangled with the superstitions of the time. The blend of Cervantes’s historical identity and the captivating tale of Doña Guiomar sets a vibrant stage for the ensuing drama. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
