In this powerful drama, Benito Pérez Galdós explores the themes of aging, family, and tradition. Set in 19th-century Madrid, it tells the story of Don Rosendo and his relationship with his grandson, Julio. As the two struggle to reconcile their differences, they are forced to confront the tensions and contradictions of Spanish society at the time. First published in 1904, it remains a classic of Spanish literature.
