Title O Romance da Rainha Mercedes
Credits E-text prepared by Pedro Saborano
Summary "O Romance da Rainha Mercedes" by Alberto Pimentel is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative examines the life and love of King Alfonso XII of Spain and his relationship with Maria de las Mercedes, his cousin and future queen. The book delves into themes of love, duty, and the burdens that come with royalty, while reflecting on the complexities of monarchical systems. At the start of the novel, the author reflects on the historical evolution of monarchy and the precarious nature of kingship during revolutionary times. The prose introduces the main character, King Alfonso XII, who must navigate the challenges of love in a political landscape that complicates by familial duty and societal expectation. The complexity of his affection for Mercedes is emphasized, as her beauty and lineage create an idealized yet tragic narrative. The opening sets the stage for their romance, expressing both the intensity of their feelings and the ominous pressures surrounding royal life, particularly in light of the political turmoil of their time.
