| Summary |
"La opinión ajena: (novela)" by Eduardo Zamacois is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is centered on Don Higinio Perea, a middle-aged man who leads a mundane and complacent life in the village of Serranillas. As he grapples with the discovery of winning the lottery, the narrative hints at the internal and external changes that this unexpected fortune might bring to his otherwise predictable existence. The opening of the novel presents an intimate glimpse into Don Higinio's life, showcasing his routine and physical appearance as he wakes up late one morning. Described as a rotund character with a sense of self-awareness about his appearance, he reflects on his mundane life and the condition of his body, evoking a romantic yet melancholic aura about his unrealized dreams. This tranquility is abruptly interrupted by the joyous news of his lottery win, triggering excitement and confusion among his family. The scene is filled with lively interactions between Don Higinio and his family members, suggesting that the sudden wealth will herald new adventures and complexities in his life, as well as an exploration of his desires and aspirations.
