Summary "La Quimera" by Emilia Pardo Bazán is a novel written in the late 19th century. This work explores themes of social satire and the inner struggles of individuals against societal expectations, primarily through the experiences of the main character, Silvio Lago, an artist grappling with his artistic aspirations and the trappings of the material world. At the start of the narrative, the author provides a prologue discussing the nature of satire and the disparity between social classes, hinting at a deeper commentary on societal troubles. We then meet Silvio Lago, who arrives in a town called Alborada, seeking both connection and purpose. Through encounters with various characters, including his relatives and a baroness, Silvio’s internal conflict between his artistic ambitions and the allure of a mundane life becomes evident. The narrative sets the stage for Silvio's exploration of his aspirations amid the contrasting desires of those around him, promising a rich exploration of human experience and artistic longing.
