Langkau, Matthias Grammel, Laurent Vogel and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Der Dreispitz" by Pedro Antonio de Alarcón is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in a rural Spanish setting during the reign of King Carlos IV, sketching a vivid picture of social and personal dynamics among villagers. It primarily revolves around the lives of Tio Lucas, a witty and hard-working miller, and his beautiful wife, the Seña Frasquita, as they navigate both their tender marital bond and the unwanted attention from the local corregidor, whose lustful pursuits set the stage for conflict and intrigue. The opening of "Der Dreispitz" sets a whimsical yet critical tone, combining humor with social commentary. It introduces the characters through the lens of a folk tale recounted by a witty shepherd, leading into descriptions of Tio Lucas and Seña Frasquita's idyllic life together in their mill. Their happiness is unexpectedly challenged when the corregidor, a frail but assertive figure, arrives with ulterior motives, revealing the tensions between desire and morality. The narrative foreshadows the complexities that arise from relationships tainted by power and attraction, as well as the age-old themes of fidelity and betrayal, making the book a rich tapestry of Spanish life in a past era.
