Summary "La Fe" by Armando Palacio Valdés is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in the small town of Peñascosa and revolves around the newly ordained priest Gil, who grapples with his ideals, the expectations of his community, and the challenges posed by the people he serves. The novel likely explores themes of faith, societal pressures, and the complexities of human relationships, especially within the confines of a small town's culture. The opening of "La Fe" depicts a crowded church during the first mass of the young presbyter Gil, a moment filled with tension and emotion as the townspeople react to the new priest's ritual. Among those present are his brother Peregrín, who feels overshadowed by his sibling, and various townsfolk experiencing discomfort in the packed space. As the ceremony unfolds, it interweaves the background of Gil’s tragic origins, with the story of his mother, Basilisa, a widow who faced insurmountable struggles before taking a desperate action on the cliffs overlooking the sea. This opening sets the stage for Gil's journey, amidst the vibrancy and drama of Peñascosa, hinting at the deep connections between faith, community, and personal sacrifice that will be further explored throughout the novel.
