Summary "Historia del levantamiento, guerra y revolución de España (2 de 5)" by Toreno is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The volume focuses primarily on the events surrounding the siege and defense of Zaragoza during the Peninsular War against French forces. It explores the heroic actions of the inhabitants and their leaders, illustrating the tenacity and spirit of the Spanish resistance. At the start of the text, the author provides a transcription note, detailing the modernization of the spelling and corrections made to previous errors. The narrative then delves into the initial stages of the Zaragoza siege, describing the city's geographical layout and the state of its defenses. We meet key figures like General Palafox, who initially leaves the city to regroup troops as the French march in, facing an unexpectedly resilient and united resistance from the citizens. The opening establishes a vivid tableau of desperation, bravery, and the strategic struggles faced by both the defenders and the besieging forces, setting the stage for a gripping account of conflict and valor.
