The Tree of Knowledge: A Novel
Pío Baroja · ES · 69747 words
In this seminal novel by Pío Baroja, we follow the intellectual and moral development of Andrés Hurtado, a young medical student who observes academic life, late 19th-century Madrid society, and the contradictions of his time with both lucidity and disillusionment. Through his doubts, readings, and conversations, the author explores the meaning of science, illness, social injustice, and the difficulty of finding one's place in a hostile world. With a sober and direct style, *The Tree of Knowledge* offers a critical and pessimistic, yet profoundly human, portrait of a generation seeking answers in reason and experience.
