«Caballero de la resignación» is the historical novel by Vintila Horia, published by Ciudadela Libros in hardback (224 pages, in Spanish).
In the seventeenth century, Prince Radu-Negru travels from Wallachia to Venice to ask for help against the Ottoman Empire, but the city's pleasurable life clashes with his warrior duty. The novel interweaves forbidden loves, betrayals and heroic loyalties, and opposes Venetian sophistication to the resistance of the forest, symbol of Wallachian freedom.
Second instalment of the Exile Trilogy, along with 'Dios ha nacido en el exilio' and 'Marta o la segunda guerra'. The title comes from a quotation by Kierkegaard.
For readers of historical fiction interested in the clash between cultures, adventure and questions about duty, freedom and destiny.
Vintilă Horia was a Romanian writer, winner of the Prix Goncourt. His best known novel is God Was Born in Exile (1960).
