| Summary |
"Arran del Cingle" by Joseph Morató is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Biel, a character who returns to his village after serving time in prison and struggles to reintegrate into a community that shuns him. Faced with rejection and a dark past, Biel's journey is marked by themes of vengeance, redemption, and the search for acceptance amidst societal judgment. The opening of the novel introduces Biel as he confronts the cold reality of his homecoming after imprisonment. Despite his hopes of rekindling friendships and normalcy, he is met with disdain and avoidance from former friends and neighbors. The ambiance is thick with superstition and anxiety as rumors circulate about Biel's involvement with dark magic, reflecting the townspeople's fear and scapegoating tendencies. As the text progresses, concern for the future unfolds amid a backdrop of heavy storms and mythical beliefs, setting the stage for Biel's internal conflict and external struggles within a superstitious community. The narrative hints at a deeper exploration of his complex relationships, particularly with a woman named Malena, foreshadowing a blend of emotional strife and personal transformation in the face of adversity.
