«El león de Boaz-Jachin y Jachin-Boaz» is the fantasy and science fiction novel by Russell Hoban, published by Edhasa in hardback (208 pages, in Spanish).
It begins as a fable: in an unnamed country, the ruins of a palace show engravings of the last king hunting the last lion. Jachin-Boaz, a mature cartographer, sells unconventional maps —of diseases, accidents, treasures or thieves— and, weary of his life, abandons his family to settle in a foreign city reminiscent of London. He soon discovers he has brought the lion with him.
Translation by Rubén Masera. Original title: «The Lion of Boaz-Jachin and Jachin-Boaz» (1973). Edhasa's Fantásticas collection.
For readers of fantasy fiction and magical realism who appreciate contemporary fables with an existential undertone.
Russell Conwell Hoban was an American writer. His works span many genres, including fantasy, science fiction, mainstream fiction, magical realism, poetry, and children's books. He lived in London from 1969 until his death.
