About

La Corte de Carlos IV es el segundo Episodio Nacional de Benito Pérez Galdós. En esta novela, y tras la épica de "Trafalgar", el autor nos trae una historia de cómicos y cortesanas a caballo entre Madrid y El Escorial. Y si en la primera entrega de la serie Gabriel Araceli siente el despertar del patriotismo, en la Corte de Carlos IV encuentra, a sus 16 años, la consciencia y el valor de su propia dignidad y honor, en esta memorable obra, intensa en amoríos e intrigas.
La novela narra los acontecimientos de la "conspiración de El Escorial" de 1807, una intentona fallida encabezada por el futuro Rey Fernando VII para provocar la caída del "favorito" Manuel Godoy y, probablemente, hacer abdicar en su favor a sus padres, todo ello con las tropas de Napoleón entrando ya en España, supuestamente, hacia Portugal. Pero tan importante e interesante resulta este episodio como la descripción de los ambientes teatrales de principios del siglo XIX, en una historia que Galdós puebla de personajes históricos, sin dejar de dar voz al Madrid popular.
La Corte de Carlos IV is the 2nd National Episode by Benito Pérez Galdós. The author brings us a story of actors and courtesans between Madrid and El Escorial, and while our young protagonist finds, at 16 years of age, the conscience and the value of his own dignity and honor, in a memorable work intense in love affairs and intrigues.
The novel narrates the events of the "conspiracy of El Escorial" (1807), a failed attempt led by the future King Ferdinand VII to provoke the fall of the "favorite" Manuel Godoy and the abdication of his parents, all this with Napoleon's troops already entering Spain, supposedly on their way to Portugal. But this episode is as important and interesting as the description of the theatrical environments of the early 19th century, in a story populated with historical characters and the humble people of Madrid.
