The Black Chandelier | Blasco Ibañez goes forward to the current novel

In 1892 the big Valencian writer Vicente Blasco Ibañéz, was writing that “The Black Chandelier” was then a young writer, and although it is a big novel, mister Blasco Ibañez did not have in great esteem, so much that was repudiating to have written it and one already saw treating it like a “juvenile essay”.

In fact Blasco Ibañez the whole talented writer and also, like few ones, rapid, this age one of his qualities, it could and his histories made it be written and finish them in short time, without for it it harming the plot neither in his extension nor in his literary beauty. In “The Chandelier” Blasco Ibañez goes forward the immersed today writers, in these plots in which the Church plays his role as part of his histories.

“The chandelier” explores the Catholic Church in the epoch of the Valencian writer and his relations in this case, with a well-off family, it is not a predictable history like the same as now, Blasco Ibañez had in his favor to have a big literary quality that it demonstrates in this plot where the Jesuits play, as I insist that they do today in many today novels, important role in the literary history that Blasco Ibañez wrote.
