| Summary |
"Amor y llanto: colección de leyendas históricas originales" by María del Pilar Sinués de Marco is a collection of historical legends written in the late 19th century. This work weaves intricate narratives that delve into the lives and struggles of characters rooted in Spain's rich past, particularly during the turbulent era of the 8th century. The primary focus appears to be on the royal family of Asturias and Galicia, as it explores themes of love, betrayal, and the quest for power. At the start of the collection, two young royals, Bimarano and Adosinda, are introduced in a somber castle setting during a spring afternoon. Their conversation is filled with emotional undercurrents as they navigate the tension surrounding their family’s tumultuous history, particularly concerning King Fruela I, Bimarano's brother. The scene highlights the complexity of familial relationships amid the backdrop of political intrigue, as Bimarano grapples with the impending loss of his child due to his brother's cruel ambitions. Their dialogue hints at deeper conflicts to come, setting the stage for the unfolding tragedy that intertwines love and suffering within the royal lineage.
