Summary "Oriente" by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. The work presumably explores the cultural and social landscapes of various locations, possibly reflecting on tourism and health resorts, particularly in Vichy, France. Given the commentary on the cosmopolitan nature of Vichy and its therapeutic waters, the narrative likely delves into the experiences of diverse characters interacting in this unique setting. The opening of "Oriente" introduces readers to the bustling scene in Vichy, where a mix of nationalities and cultures converges due to the popularity of its healing waters. The narrator recounts their observations of various visitors—ranging from the impervious, methodical Europeans to exotic figures like Indians and Egyptians—who are all drawn to the springs for different reasons, including health and socialization. As the narrative unfolds, it paints a vivid picture of people engaging in leisurely pursuits, contrasted against their ailments, highlighting the transformative power of location on individual narratives and societal connections in a seemingly therapeutic paradise.
