Summary "La reina Calafia" by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces us to Don Antonio Mascaró, a professor who lives a dual life filled with imagination and reality, as he strolls through Madrid reflecting on his mundane existence and his vibrant fantasies. Through his interactions and observations, the novel seems to explore themes of desire, societal norms, and the complexities of human relationships, particularly in relation to women. The opening of the novel sets the stage with the protagonist, Don Antonio, journeying home from a lecture, where he engages in a rich internal dialogue about his life and fantasies. He is depicted as a man torn between a dull domestic life and thrilling daydreams of adventure, particularly in contexts that challenge societal expectations of masculinity. Notably, Mascaró fantasizes about extraordinary women, hinting at his yearning for excitement beyond his conventional life. As he encounters an unfamiliar woman driving an automobile, his fascination ignites a chain of reflections about his desires and shortcomings, preparing the reader for deeper explorations of character dynamics, particularly involving the enigmatic figure of Calafia, who may redefine his understanding of love and personal ambition.
