«El dios escorpión» is a volume of three short novels by William Golding, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (189 pages, in Spanish).
The three short novels in the volume —«El dios escorpión», «Clonc Clonc» and «El enviado especial»— recreate the past through careful conjecture, with deliberately anachronistic paradoxes that underscore historical distance. Golding deploys fables about power, ritual and the human condition, laden with symbolism.
Volume number 13 of the Biblioteca Fundamental de Nuestro Tiempo collection. Translation by Ernestina de Champourcin. Originally published as «The Scorpion God: Three Short Novels» (1971).
For readers of classic and historical fiction and admirers of William Golding's work.
