| Summary | "Nacha Regules" by Manuel Gálvez is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of Buenos Aires during the Centennial festivities and follows the complex life of the main character, Nacha Regules, as she navigates her troubled existence in the world of cabarets and personal relationships. The narrative explores themes of love, social struggle, and moral questioning, particularly as it relates to Nacha's interactions with the enigmatic Dr. Fernando Monsalvat and the aggressive Dalmacio Arnedo. At the start of the novel, Buenos Aires is alive with celebration, but amidst the revelry, we find Nacha in a cabaret, weighed down by a sense of melancholy as she interacts with her companions and her aggressive lover, Arnedo. The atmosphere is charged with tango music, dancing, and the looming threat of violence, reflecting the harsh realities of her existence. The narrative introduces Monsalvat, a solitary figure drawn to Nacha's plight, who ultimately intervenes to defend her from Arnedo's brutality. As the scene unfolds, Nacha grapples with her emotions, torn between her loyalty to Arnedo and her undeniable connection to Monsalvat, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of her character and her life choices in the chapters to come.
