«Capricho» is the novel by John Fowles, published by Plaza & Janés in 1987 in paperback (333 pages, in Spanish).
In the spring of 1738, four men and a woman cross Devonshire with false identities towards a secret meeting. One is found hanged, another disappears, and the remaining three are accused of murder. The plot interweaves the origin of the Shakers, a Protestant sect, with an erotic obsession and the conflict between reason and superstition.
Translation by Ana M.ª de la Fuente; first edition in the Literaria collection of Plaza & Janés. The original work, «A Maggot», appeared in 1985.
Novel for readers of historical and literary fiction, with mystery and a look at eighteenth-century England.
John Robert Fowles was an English novelist, critically positioned between modernism and postmodernism. His work was influenced by Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus, among others.
