"La araña negra, t. 9/9" by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez is a novel written in 1892. This serialized work tells the story of the Baselga family, a noble lineage from Old Castile whose ancestry traces back to heroes of the Reconquista. Set in early nineteenth-century Spain, the novel depicts how the Jesuit Order patiently weaves a web against this wealthy family to seize their fortune. The work contains harsh criticism of the Company of Jesus, which later led Blasco Ibáñez to exclude it from his complete works. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
