«El caballero inexistente» is the novel by Italo Calvino, published by Bruguera in paperback, in Spanish.
Agilulfo, a knight in Charlemagne's army, has a serious problem: he does not exist. Beneath his empty armour there is no face or body, only his will and his faith. The novel, ironic and satirical, questions medieval chivalry and reflects on identity, existence and meaning in an absurd world.
Work originally published in Italian in 1959 as «Il cavaliere inesistente»; it is part of the trilogy Nuestros antepasados. Translation by Francesc Miravitlles.
For readers of twentieth-century classics and Italian literature, especially those who enjoy ironic fables and philosophical humour.
