«El muchacho persa» is the historical novel by Mary Renault, published by Grijalbo in paperback (506 pages, in Spanish).
Bagoas, a young Persian castrated as a child, narrates the last years of Alexander the Great: campaigns, court conspiracies, and revolts of an army that questions its king. His relationship with the conqueror becomes loyalty and love; the novel explores power, ambition, and the protagonist's identity in the Hellenistic world.

For readers of historical and romantic fiction with an interest in a first-person narrative set in Alexander the Great's court.
