| Summary | "Cosas que fueron: Cuadros de costumbres" by Pedro Antonio de Alarcón is a collection of essays written in the late 19th century. The book captures various social customs and reflections on life in Spain during that era, providing a window into the cultural landscape of the time. Through vivid language and rich observations, Alarcón discusses themes of nostalgia, family life, and societal changes, weaving his personal experiences into the fabric of his reflections. The opening of the work introduces us to the author's reflections on the passage of time and the inevitable changes that accompany it. Alarcón recalls the warmth and joy of Christmas Eve in his childhood home, a stark contrast to his current solitary existence in Madrid. The nostalgic tone reveals his deep longing for the familial bonds and traditions he once cherished, as he grapples with the realization of mortality and loss. The author vividly paints scenes from his past, drawing readers into his emotional landscape, illustrating the tension between past happiness and present disillusionment.
