| Summary | "Arroz y tartana" by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story immerses the reader in the vibrant atmosphere of the Valencia market during the Christmas season, focusing on the experiences of the central character, doña Manuela, who is on a shopping expedition full of nostalgia and memories of her past as a shopkeeper. At the start of the novel, doña Manuela navigates through the lively market, reflecting on her memories while engaging in a series of purchases for the Christmas feast. Accompanied by her cocher and maid, she encounters the bustling crowd, rich descriptions of various stalls, and lively vendors, which evoke a chaotic yet festive environment. Throughout her shopping, interactions with her brother, don Juan, reveal family dynamics marked by contrasting attitudes towards wealth and poverty, while her sentiments reflect both pride and a sense of loss as she grapples with her memories of better times spent in her own shop, "Las Tres Rosas."
