E-text prepared by Chuck Greif and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team at DP Europe (http://dp.rastko.net) "Marta y María: novela de costumbres" by Armando Palacio Valdés is a realistic novel written in the late 19th century. The story appears to explore themes of societal customs and personal relationships through the lives of its main characters, Marta and María, who likely experience various challenges and developments reflective of their era. The opening of the narrative introduces a scene filled with intrigue and anticipation as a crowd gathers outside the house of the Elorzas, eager to hear María sing. The description captures a rainy night in the village of Nieva, where the excitement builds around the performance, setting the stage for the contrasting experiences of the two sisters—Marta, who seems more reserved, and María, whose singing captivates the audience. The prologue establishes that the novel is not based on ordinary events but rather depicts emotions and realities that resonate deeply, suggesting that the story may explore the complexities of life, love, and societal expectations.
