«El manuscrito carmesí» is the historical novel by Antonio Gala, published by RBA Editores in hardback (501 pages, in Spanish).
Boabdil, last Nasrid sultan of Granada, writes his memoirs on the crimson papers of the Alhambra Chancellery. The narrative covers his childhood, courtly education and affections, as he witnesses the decline of the kingdom and the victory of the Catholic Monarchs. His awareness of defeat turns him into a symbol of contemporary man.
The work won the Planeta Prize in 1990; this RBA edition is from 1992 and belongs to the Narrativa Actual collection.
Aimed at readers of historical fiction and Spanish narrative, especially those seeking Nasrid Granada and the figure of Boabdil.
