About this eBook

Author Valera, Juan, 1824-1905
Title Pasarse de listo
Credits Produced by Chuck Greif
Summary "Pasarse de listo" by Juan Valera is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the social dynamics and summer habits of the Spanish aristocracy, contrasting their elegant summer retreats with the more mundane life left behind in Madrid. The main character, Conde de Alhedín, emerges as a charming figure who navigates the complexities of relationships and social attitudes. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to the conventions of summer leisure among the upper class in Spain. It is noted that many prominent families leave Madrid for various European resorts, often leaving behind a droll atmosphere in the city during the hotter months. Amid this setting, the Conde, characterized by his flamboyant nature and adventurous spirit, finds himself intrigued by two modest yet captivating women he encounters in the Jardines del Buen Retiro. His curiosity about these women ignites a desire for adventure, leading him to contemplate the challenges of forging connections with them, despite their humble background and the constraints of their social class. In essence, the opening sets up a contrast between the superficiality of aristocratic pursuits and the depth of individual character, hinting at both romantic and social entanglements to follow.
