About This Book

Un joven comerciante, recién desvinculado de sus negocios tras la muerte de su padre, se traslada a Madrid y se instala cerca de su tío Rafael Bueno de Guzmán y de las hijas de éste, María Juana, Eloísa y Camila. Describe la modernización de la capital y las comodidades de la vida urbana mientras relata la personalidad y trayectoria profesional del tío: un hombre sociable, orgulloso pero sin ahorro, aficionado a la caza y afectado por la esperanza frustrada de que el narrador contraiga matrimonio con una de sus hijas. La narración combina observaciones sociales con tensiones familiares sobre los yernos y los casamientos.
