One of the stated goals of the Naturalist movement was to present a depiction of life faithful to the empirical method. In practice, however, the works emphasize the more sordid and base elements. This study explains how Vicente Blasco Ibáñez's use of coloration is a consciously manipulated narrative technique instead of a faithful portrayal of reality. In fact, a close examination of the Valencian cycle concludes that the «scientific objectivity» of the Naturalist movement is tenuous, at best, and that Blasco Ibáñez's narratives include more art and artifice than have been recognized heretofore.

La rivalidad entre estas dos familias es intensa, y los conflictos entre ellas llevan a una serie de dramáticos eventos. En el trasfondo de la trama, el autor presenta una crítica social sobre las desigualdades económicas y la lucha de las clases trabajadoras para sobrevivir. La novela está llena de personajes complejos y fascinantes que te mantendrán enganchado hasta la última página.
