Summary "La segunda casaca" by Benito Pérez Galdós is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative delves into the political turmoil and conspiracies of early 19th century Spain, exploring the complexities of liberalism versus absolutism. The story prominently features characters such as Don Miguel de Baraona, a staunch supporter of the monarchy, and his granddaughter Jenara, who navigate a society rife with political intrigue and personal conflicts. The opening of the novel sets a dramatic tone, highlighting the perceived infamy of the liberal opponents of the absolutist regime, whom the narrator condemns for their revolutionary ambitions. Don Miguel and his family are introduced, with their discussions revealing an underlying tension between their devotion to the monarchy and the looming threat of revolution. As they converse about past conspiracies and current dangers, the narrative hints at personal vendettas connected to the figure of Salvador Monsalud, a traitor whose presence in Spain stirs fear and anger among the royalist supporters. This establishes a rich context for exploring the interplay between personal grievances and broader political conflict that likely unfolds throughout the rest of the novel.
