Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Wolf Cub: A Novel of Spain" by Patrick and Terence Casey is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative focuses on a young boy named Jacinto Quesada, whose life is marred by the violence and lawlessness surrounding his impoverished village in the Sierra Nevada. Through Jacinto's eyes, the novel explores themes of desperation, ambition, and the harsh realities of Spanish society during a tumultuous time. At the start of the story, we are introduced to the boy Jacinto and his mother, grieving the loss of his father, who was killed by the Guardia Civil for smuggling. As their village faces starvation and poverty, Jacinto's longing for a better life and a sense of belonging intensifies. His journey leads him to meet the bandolero Pernales, whom he admires and wishes to emulate. The narrative sets in motion Jacinto’s transformation from the innocent son of a smuggler to a bandolero himself, foreshadowing a tale that intertwines ambition with the search for identity in a brutal world.
