''La araña negra, t. 1/9'' by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story appears to involve complex themes of politics, identity, and family dynamics against a backdrop of societal turmoil. The opening introduces the character of Esteban Alvarez, a former military commander embroiled in political conflict, driven by a desperate need to reconnect with his daughter, Maria, whose situation is caught in the turmoil of contemporary social upheaval. The beginning of ''La araña negra'' sets the stage in a religious college where Esteban Alvarez arrives seeking his daughter, only to be met with hostility from the brother in charge, who suspects him of revolutionary sentiments. Esteban's emotional encounter with the mother superior reveals his troubled past and the disdain surrounding his political identity. As he struggles against the bureaucratic rigidity of the institution, his desperation escalates when he discovers that his daughter, now under the care of a family he detests, has been taught to fear him. This confrontation lays bare the psychological and emotional rifts caused by political ideologies and personal history, hinting at deeper conflicts that will unfold in the narrative.
