Produktbeschreibung
Santa (1903) is a landmark novel of Mexican naturalism by Federico Gamboa. The story follows Santa, a young woman from a rural village who is seduced, abandoned, and ultimately expelled by her family. Forced to survive on her own in Mexico City, Santa descends into prostitution, where she becomes both admired and exploited. Despite her outward success, Santa's life is marked by loneliness, illness, and emotional suffering. The only character who shows her genuine compassion is Hipólito, a blind piano player who loves her selflessly. However, social hypocrisy, poverty, and rigid moral judgment prevent Santa from escaping her fate. As her health deteriorates, Santa becomes increasingly aware of the cruelty of the society that condemns her while benefiting from her suffering. The novel ends tragically with her death, underscoring the inevitability imposed by social forces beyond individual control. Through detailed urban settings and psychological realism, Santa offers a harsh critique of morality, gender inequality, and social injustice. Considered one of the most important novels of Mexican literature, it exposes the destructive consequences of exclusion and hypocrisy in early 20th-century society.
