"Trafalgar: A Tale" by Benito Pérez Galdós, is a story that unfolds during the Napoleonic Wars focusing on the Battle of Trafalgar, as seen through the eyes of a young boy named Gabriel. Gabriel shares about his early life in Cádiz, where his dreams of sea battles are mixed with the care of his mother and the tough realities around him. Gabriel vividly shows the tension between Don Alonso, an old naval officer eager for battle, and Doña Francisca, his wife, who strongly disagrees with his war ambitions. All of this anticipation sets up the emotional and personal stakes before the big sea battle, blending personal stories with the grand historical conflict.
