La una vida en tiempos de Felipe segundo Larreta, Enrique 1875-1961 creator text utu 2009 monographic es 1 online resource : multiple file formats "La gloria de don Ramiro" by Enrique Larreta is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set in the context of 16th-century Spain, the narrative follows the life of a boy named Ramiro as he navigates through a world steeped in traditions, familial expectations, and societal roles, particularly exploring the complexity of love and duty against a backdrop of historical and religious significance. The opening of the novel introduces Ramiro, a contemplative child who often spends his evenings in a tower, listening to stories told by women, which intertwine the mundane with the mystical. His childhood is marked by the influence of his strict mother, doña Guiomar, and his interactions with the old escudero, Medrano, who shares tales of bygone military glories. The atmosphere is rich with the sounds and scents of rural Spain, and we see Ramiro's deepening sense of identity and purpose as he grows, overshadowed by the weight of historical legacy and personal aspirations, setting the stage for the developments to come in his journey towards manhood.
