Bootes is a monumental allegory about the destiny of humanity and a ruthless metaphor about the cruelty of power and the injustices of our society. This is the long-awaited novel that concludes the publication of the Exercises on the point of view, the most important narrative cycle in Miquel de Palol's work. In this novel, the author places us inside the Arxicenotafi, a labyrinthine, fortified and highly bureaucratic building city informally called «Illa dels Morts». The protagonist, Artur, is called to go there to carry out a task of great importance and confidentiality. He will be the last piece that will make up the Egrégor, a fraternity of seven participants who will share an uncertain and complex mission. Together they will discover the entrails of this bizarre, mechanized and putrefied city.
Miquel de Palol i Muntanyola is a Catalan architect, poet and storyteller. He is the son of the archaeologist Pere de Palol.
