The main character in this novel is Juan Bragas. 

It is 1814 and he tells us about the return of Fernando VII and how democracy is destroyed and absolutist monarchy restored. It is clear that Galdós shows a critical view of the people like Bragas who were against democracy. Juan gets a position in the department of Straw and Utensils thanks to the intervention of his patron, Buenaventura.
