Summary "Mare nostrum" by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez is a novel written in the early 20th century. It explores the life and adventures of Ulises Ferragut, a young boy whose imagination is stirred by tales of history, love, and dreams of adventure, particularly inspired by a Greek empress and the rich maritime culture surrounding the Mediterranean. The narrative delves into the intricate relationships between family, history, and the sea, showcasing the aspirations and innocence of the protagonist. The opening of "Mare nostrum" introduces us to Ulises Ferragut and his father, Don Esteban, a notary fascinated by the past and a lover of history. Through their visits to the church of Santa Bárbara, Ulises becomes captivated by the story of Empress Constanza Augusta, whose life and legacy ignite his imagination. While catching glimpses of the past in his father's tales, Ulises grapples with the realities of his present life, from desiring adventures upon the sea to defining his future. The first chapter sets the stage for Ulises’ quest for identity, revealing his connection to a world that blends historical significance with personal aspiration.
