About the Book

Armando Palacio Valdes fue un escritor y critico literario espanol, perteneciente al Realismo del siglo XIX. El cuarto poder es una novela escrita y publicada en 1913. El cuarto poder (1888), donde de la misma manera que en La Regenta de Leopoldo Alas se realiza una satira de la burguesia provinciana, se denuncia la estupidez de los duelos y la fatuidad de los seductores. En Sarrio, villa famosa, banada por el mar Cantabrico, existia hace algunos anos un teatro no limpio, no claro, no comodo, pero que servia cumplidamente para solazar en las largas noches de invierno a sus pacificos e industriosos moradores. Estaba construido, como casi todos, en forma de herradura. Constaba de dos pisos a mas del bajo. En el primero los palcos, asi llamados Dios sabe por que, pues no eran otra cosa que unos bancos rellenos de pelote y forrados de franela encarnada colocados en torno del antepecho. Para sentarse en ellos era forzoso empujar el respaldo, que tenia bisagras de trecho en trecho, y levantar al propio tiempo el asiento. Una vez dentro se dejaba caer otra vez el asiento, se volvia el respaldo a su sitio y se acomodaba la persona del peor modo que puede estar criatura humana fuera del potro de tormento. En el segundo piso bullia, gritaba, coceaba y relinchaba toda la chusma del pueblo sin diferencia de clases, lo mismo el marinero de altura que el que pescaba muergos en la bahia o el peon de descarga; la sena Amalia la revendedora igual que las que acarreaban el fresco a la capital. Llamabase a aquel recinto la cazuela. Las butacas eran del mismo aborrecible pelote que los palcos y el forro debio ser tambien del mismo color, aunque no podia saberse con certeza. "El cuarto poder" plantea tambien dudas sobre si Sarrio se refleja a Gijon o a Aviles, el profesor Jose Maria Roca Franquesa situa la accion en Aviles y nadie que conozco la historia de la Villa avilesina define de siglos XIX puede ponerlo en duda, comienza describiendo el viejo teatro desaparecido de la calle de La Camara, describe un ambiente cargado de emigrantes, con lugares concretos facilmente identificables, el paseo del Bombe, la ensenada de la bahia o ria, y personajes que del mismo modo, para quienes no desconozcan aquel periodo de la vida avilesina son identificables, la familia Belinchon y "Dona Brigida" son los partidarios de San Miguel, ocultando con tal nombre el de Vicentina Llanos, los partidarios de Suarez Inclan, despues Pedregal, son tambien reconocibles, "Don Mateo" no es otro que don Jorge de Las Alas, "Gabino Maza" es don Fermin Mesa "Alvaro Pena" es don Ramon Ruiz Gomez, el faro de Sarrio no es otro que el periodico "La Luz de Aviles," cuyo director el joven abogado "Sinforoso Suarez" es Florentino Alvarez-Mesa, y "Marcones" reconocido y tristemente celebre cabo de la Policia Municipal. Consiguientemente es aceptado el criterio del profesor Roca Franquesa."
