| Summary | "Los monfíes de las Alpujarras: novela original" by Manuel Fernández y González is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The story is set during a tumultuous period, notably in Granada in the mid-16th century, focusing on the plight of the Moriscos, descendants of Muslim Spaniards, as they navigate increasing oppression. The narrative primarily revolves around the character Yaye, a young Morisco caught between his heritage and the pressure of Christian dominance, alongside his complex relationship with Isabel, a noblewoman of Christian descent. At the start of the novel, the atmosphere is rife with tension as a vast crowd gathers in Granada following the proclamation of an edict by Emperor Charles V. The Moriscos display anxiety amid the pompous display of officials, hinting at the dire consequences of the edict that aims to strip them of their culture and identity. Yaye is introduced as a passionate young man who is spurred into action by the edict, rallying his fellow Moriscos to resist their oppressors. Contrarily, Isabel is shown as a figure of compassion caught in the conflicts arising from her love for Yaye, leading to an exploration of themes such as loyalty, identity, and the struggle against tyranny. The opening sets the stage for the emotional and political conflicts that will unfold as Yaye grapples with his conflicting loyalties to his people, his love for Isabel, and his sense of duty.
