Rate this book
«Julia o escenas de la vida en Lima» es una novela heredera del romanticismo francés. Dos jóvenes enamorados, Julia y Andrés, se prometen en matrimonio, sin embargo, aparece de pronto Alberto, un hombre deshonesto que consigue encandilar a Julia y hacerle romper su compromiso. En cambio, «Amor de niño» es una obra llena de ingenuidad y sentimentalismo sobre un niño que se enamora de una mujer mayor.-

julia might be the original #young ho in 19th century perú.

me when i break up with my young & handsome (but middle class bf) and then i choose to a marry a young,
medium ugly (but rich) young man only to realize hes addicted to betting and then he loses all his money and runs away & leaves me stranded with no money and a goddamn child.

my reputation is ON THE FLOOR. my family & friends all call me a broke ass. as a last resort, i write to my middle class ex to see if he still wants to marry. naturally, he says no lmao ??? i run away to become a caretaker of my poor aunt. live a life of misery.

not to worry tho because my middle class ex realizes he lowkey still is in love with me after spending 1 month in the hospital bc he lowkey went crazy after seeing me again bc i looked too hot at the church. so, he proposes to me (again (he was rejected the first time, duh)) and we live happily ever after.

#young ho behavior LMAO.

bueno, ya. claramente es un libro que busca el romanticismo como una respuesta a la influencia del capital (y el capitalismo) que vemos surgir dentro de LATAM en en siglo XIX—si queremos ser serios. el rumor como capital social me interesa bastante en este libro, especialmente si consideramos capital fictions de ericka beckman como un punto de arranque.
