| Summary | "Los apostólicos" by Benito Pérez Galdós is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores the lives of a Spanish family, particularly focusing on Don Benigno Cordero, a widowed father managing the challenges of raising his children and dealing with the socio-political changes of his time following the death of his wife. It reflects on themes of familial duty, societal expectations, and the conflicts between tradition and modernity. The opening of "Los apostólicos" sets a detailed scene in Madrid during the early 19th century, chronicling the aftermath of the death of Doña Robustiana, wife of Don Benigno. As he grapples with his responsibilities as a father and a businessman, the narrative introduces his youngest child, Juanito Jacobo, and the emotional turmoil surrounding the loss of his wife. It hints at the political backdrop of their lives, particularly the implications of the impending royal visit and its impact on the family dynamics, suggesting an intermingling of personal and national history that will unfold throughout the story. The opening also foreshadows the introduction of other characters who will join the Cordero family narrative, further enriching their domestic and communal experiences amidst changing times.
