Lyric Poetry

"Bailén" es el cuarto de los Episodios Nacionales de Benito Pérez Galdós, centrado en los prolegómenos y en la propia batalla de Bailén, el 19 de julio de 1808, en la que las tropas españolas al mando del General Castaños infligieron su primera derrota al ejército francés de Napoleón, comandado en esta ocasión por el General Dupont.

Y mientras los acontecimientos históricos envuelven la trama de Gabriel de Araceli, acompañamos a éste desde Madrid a Córdoba y Bailén, en busca de su amada Inés.

Con el tono ameno y desenfadado de entregas anteriores, incluso con humor, Galdós continúa la narración haciendo evolucionar a su protagonista mientras nos presenta nuevos personajes e ideas, deslizando magistralmente cómo el mundo está cambiando, también en las cabezas y corazones de muchos españoles, sin que éstos se den cuenta.

“Bailén” is the fourth of Benito Pérez Galdós' National Episodes, centered on the prolegomena and the battle of Bailén, on July 19, 1808, in which the Spanish troops under the command of General Castaños inflicted their first defeat on Napoleon's French army, commanded on this occasion by General Dupont, at the early days of the Peninsular War.

And while historical events envelop the plot of Gabriel de Araceli, we accompany him from Madrid to Córdoba and Bailén, in search of his beloved Inés.

With the pleasant and light-hearted tone of previous installments, even with humor, Galdós continues the narrative, making his protagonist evolve as he introduces new characters and ideas, masterfully slipping in how the world is changing, also in the heads and hearts of many Spaniards, without them realizing it.
