In a Pyrenean sanatorium called El Sueño de la Razón, the living and the dead coexist: the spectres of Ferdinand VII, Descartes and Proust, alongside fray Antonio Azorín, confessor of Philip II obsessed with memory. The plot leads to the Sarajevo conspiracy and the confession of Gavrilo Princip, the assassin who marked the beginning of an era.
This is the first edition, published in Barcelona and part of the Áncora y Delfín collection (no. 566). The work belongs to Spanish narrative and literature.
For readers of Spanish narrative and history, with an interest in fiction that recreates episodes such as the Sarajevo assassination.
