About This Book

Un joven provinciano llega a la capital y se ve inmerso en la vida urbana durante un período de agitación política y social. La narración combina escenas de costumbres, intrigas administrativas y episodios públicos con retratos satíricos de funcionarios, hospedajes y sociedades diversas, mostrando cómo la ambición, la ingenuidad y las redes de protección influyen en los destinos individuales. La estructura alterna episodios personales, cartas y documentos, y ofrece un fresco detallado de la ciudad y de las tensiones entre modernización y tradición que atraviesan la vida social y política.
