Summary "El 19 de marzo y el 2 de mayo" by Benito Pérez Galdós is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores the tumultuous events surrounding the early 19th century Spanish War of Independence against French occupation, focusing particularly on the social and personal conflicts of its characters. At its center is Gabriel, a young typesetter whose life intertwines with the orphaned Inés and the complexities of their social standings and ambitions. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to Gabriel, who reflects on his dreary job as a typesetter in Madrid and dreams of a more distinguished future while nurturing feelings for Inés, a young orphan. Gabriel's life is monotonous, but thoughts of Inés, who lives with her uncle in Aranjuez, bring him joy. The atmosphere shifts as the political tension in Spain rises with the encroaching French army, while Inés's relatives, the Requejos, re-enter her life offering a comfortable future, leading Gabriel to worry about losing her amidst the upheaval. Through engaging dialogue and character interactions, the opening sets the stage for both romantic and political conflicts that will unfold throughout the novel.
