Summary "La gran aldea; costumbres bonaerenses" by Lucio Vicente López is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book presents a vivid and critical sketch of Buenos Aires during a period of cultural and social transmutation, focusing on the experiences and observations of its characters, particularly the narrator and his peculiar uncle. The opening of the novel introduces the narrator, who lives with his uncle, a man recently widowed at the age of fifty-eight and about to remarry. The dynamics of family life under the tyrannical nature of his late aunt Medea are established through humorous and poignant reflections on domestic brutality intertwined with affection. The narrator delves into his childhood memories of this turbulent household, which is marked by his uncle's meekness and his aunt's fierce temperament, setting the scene for the exploration of Buenos Aires's social fabric and the characters that populate it. The tone is rich with satire and serves as a lens through which the changing societal norms and values of Buenos Aires are scrutinized. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
