In the castle of Argol, by author Julien Gracq, is a gothic novel that respects and transcends the conventions of the genre. The story takes place in a castle where young Albert receives his friend Hermenien and Heide, a woman of radiant beauty. The novel explores themes such as the myth of the Fall and the dual nature of saviors, presenting a demonic version of Parsifal. The Spanish translation is by Mauro Armiño. Published by Siruela in its Siruela/Bolsillo collection, this softcover book has 132 pages and a miraculous syntax that evokes images of light and mystery.
Julien Gracq was a French writer. He wrote novels, critiques, a play, and poetry. His literary works were noted for their dreamlike abstraction, elegant style and refined vocabulary. He was close to the surrealist movement, in particular its leader André Breton.
