| Summary | "Aguas fuertes" by Armando Palacio Valdés is a collection of narratives and portraits written during the late 19th century. The stories explore urban life and the idyllic atmosphere of the Retiro Park in Madrid, focusing on the experiences of its visitors, including modest seamstresses and social observations. The author captures the essence of daily life, contrasting the romantic ideals with the realities of society. The opening of "Aguas fuertes" introduces readers to the atmosphere of Madrid in June. It begins with a reflection on the virtues of early rising and the enjoyment of quiet morning strolls in the Retiro Park. The narrator describes the beauty of nature awakening at dawn, the splendor of the sun rising, and the interactions of various social groups within the park, notably the lively seamstresses seeking a brief escape from their daily routines. The writing eloquently blends humor and social commentary, setting the stage for further exploration of life and its nuances in Madrid as the book unfolds.
