El amor, el dandysmo y la intriga by Pío Baroja is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds through the eyes of the main character, Leguía, as he reflects on his past while recuperating in a remote Swiss village. Central to the narrative is Leguía’s relationship with Aviraneta, an adventurous and reckless figure embroiled in the intrigues of political dissent during a tumultuous period in Spanish history. At the start of the novel, Leguía begins his memoirs in a quaint home in the Engadine, where he contemplates his health and the memories of his youth. He reminisces about his travels with Aviraneta, a secretive man tasked with espionage against the Carlists. Their conversations reveal a dangerous mission involving gathering intelligence on the political tensions in Basque territories and establishing contacts among key figures in the region.
