| Summary | "El equipaje del rey José" by Benito Pérez Galdós is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores the tumultuous period of the Peninsular War in Spain and follows various characters who navigate the chaotic socio-political landscape, particularly focusing on Salvadorcillo Monsalud, a young soldier caught between his duty to the French crown and his loyalty to his homeland. At the start of the novel, a group of characters discusses the departure of King José Bonaparte and the implications of French presence in Spain. They express their mixed feelings about the ongoing war, reflecting on past victories and disillusionments with the French. The narrative then shifts to Salvadorcillo Monsalud, a young guard in the service of the French, who is torn between his role as a soldier and his desire for a more meaningful life. He experiences conflict when he encounters the public's disdain for French soldiers, leading to a confrontation that highlights his complicated identity and the shifting allegiances as Spain moves toward liberation from French control. His interactions with his friend Juan Bragas and other characters establish a vivid backdrop of societal turmoil and personal struggles as war affects their lives.
