The novel follows Andrés Hurtado from his medical studies through the settings of early 20th-century Spain. His contact with misery, injustice and pain leads him to question the value of knowledge and to move between moral rebellion and scepticism, in a narrative with clear autobiographical echoes of Baroja.
Written in 1911, it is the third novel of the trilogy 'La Raza'. Edition from the El País Clásicos Españoles collection (no. 35).
