«Al morir don Quijote» is the novel by Andrés Trapiello, published by Destino in hardback (412 pages, in Spanish).
With the death of Alonso Quijano as its starting point, the novel follows those who knew him in seventeenth-century Spain. The hidalgo's absence changes their lives, and the author explores memory, identity and the character's legacy while recovering the adventures and ideals of his universe.
The work belongs to Destino's Áncora y Delfín collection and received the 2005 Premio Fundación José Manuel Lara and the Prix Littéraire Européen Madeleine Zepter.
Recommended for readers of contemporary Spanish fiction and for those seeking a re-reading of the Quixote universe from the characters who surrounded him.
