| Summary | "San Isidro" by Mrs. Schuyler Crowninshield is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book follows the life of Don Beltran, a man living near a river with his servant Adan and Adan's niece, Agueda, as they face the threat of a potentially catastrophic flood. Themes of love, duty, and the relationship between man and nature emerge in this rich and atmospheric tale set against a vibrant backdrop of tropical life. The opening of "San Isidro" introduces the main characters and their tranquil life in the casa by the river. Despite warnings from neighbors about impending floods, Don Beltran shows a carefree attitude, finding joy in the natural beauty surrounding him. As he interacts with Agueda, the story hints at deeper emotions and connections, particularly in moments tender and charged with tension as they prepare for the approaching storm. Through descriptions of the landscape and the characters' reflections on past floods, readers sense an impending tragedy, foreshadowing a pivotal moment that will challenge their lives further.
