Últimos días en Trípoli
Garcés, Mario (1967- )
Tripoli at the beginning of the 19th century is a forgotten and remote place in the eyes of the Spanish court. Among the fifteen thousand souls that live in the city, a group of Spaniards strive to survive, wrapped in nostalgia for an irretrievable past and in the uncertainty of a hopeless future. In this scenario of abandonment, the fate of these men hardly has any value. But, among them, there is a woman, Irene de Souza, daughter of the Spanish consul, who rebels not only against social prejudices, but also against the conventions of being a woman. Irene de Souza builds her own identity from her dreams of freeing herself from a suffocating society, in an imperfect balance that will lead her to break traumatically with the life that others try to impose on her. A character who will make her feelings prevail over her duties and obligations, knowing that this conquest can have a fateful end. On the borders of a world that transits between violence and revenge, Irene becomes, even for the Spanish themselves, a real problem. Freedom is confused with immorality and the culmination of her desires will have a cost that she will be willing to pay even with her own life.
