| Summary | "La araña negra, t. 6/9" by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Ricardito Baselga, the favored son of a count, who is educated in a Jesuit school and aspires to a life of sanctity, inspired by his mistic devotion and the examples of saints. As he traverses the complexities of his upbringing and religious fervor, the narrative delves into themes of childhood innocence, family dynamics, and the often oppressive nature of institutional religion. The opening of the novel introduces Ricardito as a pale and humble boy, distinguished among his peers at a Jesuit college in Madrid. He is celebrated by his teachers and seeks solace in the company of older mentors, wanting to be seen as a saint, much to the admiration of his family. However, a darker undercurrent to his piety and seclusion is hinted as he grapples with scruples and a desire for divine approval, leading him to shun normal childhood experiences and embody an intense devotion that threatens his physical and mental well-being. As his story begins to unfold, readers are poised to explore the profound internal conflicts as well as the societal pressures that shape his aspirations and decisions.
