About the Book

En el invierno de 1809 a 1810 las cosas de España no podían andar peor. Lo de menos era que nos derrotaran en Ocaña a los cuatro meses de la casi indecisa victoria de Talavera: aún había algo más desastroso y lamentable, y era la tormenta de malas pasiones que bramaba en torno a la Junta central. Sucedía en Sevilla una cosa que no sorprenderá a mis lectores, si, como creo, son españoles, y es que allí todos querían mandar.

Los nuestros, dispersos y desanimados, no tenían un general experto que los mandase; faltaban recursos de todas clases, especialmente de dinero, y en esta situación el poder central era un hervidero de intriguillas. Las ambiciones injustificadas, las miserias, la vanidad ridícula, la pequeñez inflándose para parecer grande como la rana que quiso imitar al buey, la intolerancia, el fanatismo, la doblez, el orgullo rodeaban a aquella pobre Junta, que ya en sus postrimerías no sabía a qué santo encomendarse. Bullían en torno a ella políticos de pacotilla de la primera hornada que en España tuvimos, generales pigmeos que no supieron ganar batalla alguna; y aunque había también varones de mérito así en la milicia como en lo civil, estos o no tenían arrojo para sobreponerse a los tontos, o carecían de aquellas prendas de carácter sin las c
