About this ebook

"La Gaviota" by Fernán Caballero is a Spanish novel set in Villamar, a Cadiz town. The book beautifully displays the customs of two different civilizations. The story reveals the character of Stein, a German doctor, who arrives at this seafaring place. He arrives to offer his services in the 1840s Spanish war. After the townspeople help Stein with the restoration of his health, he falls in love with the "Seagull", a local girl with an arrogant and stubborn nature. She grows into a beautiful opera singer trained under Stein and the two get married to live a happy life but a bullfighter from Seville falls for the young singer...
Fernan Caballero is, indeed, but a pseudonym: the author of this novel, passing under that name, is understood to be a lady, partly of German descent. Her father was Don Juan Nicholas Böhl de Faber, to whose erudition Spain is indebted for a collection of ancient poetry.
Excerpt:
"Among them was the governor of an English colony, a tall, fine-looking fellow, accompanied by two of his staff officers. There were several who wore their mackintoshes, thrusting their hands into their pockets; some had flushed countenances, others blue, or very pale, and, generally, all were discontented. In fine, that beautiful vessel seemed to be converted into a palace of discontent."
