«El Quincorn» is the romantic novel by Miquel de Palol, published by Columna in hardback (257 pages, in Catalan).
The protagonist, Pròsper Colonel, waits for a shaman, but a croupier appears who shows him five poker cards and invites him to choose between love, philosophy, or money. The novel unfolds as a chronicle of an absolute passion, the account of a case of conscience, and a historical inquiry around a three-dimensional chess.
The novel won the Premi Sant Jordi in 1998 and was published in 1999 within the «Col·lecció Clàssica» collection.
For readers of romantic novels who appreciate plots with historical and symbolic background.
