Summary: "Zaragoza" by Benito Pérez Galdós is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. This work is part of Galdós's larger series "Episodios Nacionales," which explores Spanish history through a fictional narrative. The novel centers around the experiences of various characters during the Siege of Zaragoza, particularly focusing on the themes of patriotism, heroism, and the impact of war on individuals and communities amidst the turmoil of the Peninsular War. The opening of "Zaragoza" introduces us to four companions who have just escaped from captivity and arrive at the city of Zaragoza, weary and desperate for shelter and sustenance. They navigate the ruined landscape of the city, reflecting on their hardships and the destruction caused by previous conflicts. As they settle for the night in the ruins of a monastery, they come across a man named Don Roque, who shares stories of local heroes and the resilience of Zaragoza's citizens during the siege. The scene sets a tone of camaraderie and determination among the characters, highlighting both their struggles and the vibrant spirit of the city that they have come to defend. Through these initial interactions and observations, Galdós lays the groundwork for a gripping exploration of the human experience during one of Spain's most tumultuous historical periods.
