«El sello de Antigua» is the novel by Robert Graves, published by Editora y Distribuidora Hispano Americana, S.A. in paperback (336 pages, in Spanish).
With a humour close to farce, Robert Graves narrates the fierce confrontation between two brothers, peppered with betrayals, pranks and outlandish stratagems. The plot unfolds in the world of stamp collectors and has been interpreted as a curious reflection of the battle of the sexes, an unusual facet within the author's work.
This edition belongs to the Pocket collection (number 169) and was translated by Manuel Bosch Barret. The original publication dates from 1936.
Recommended for readers of contemporary fiction seeking a satirical comedy with historical and literary background.
