«Historia de un amor maravilloso» is the novel by Carl-Johan Vallgren, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardback (416 pages, in Spanish).
In 1813, in a brothel in Königsberg, Henriette and Hercule are born: he is deaf-mute, deformed and able to read minds. Raised together, fate separates them; Hercule suffers abuse and religious persecution as he travels across nineteenth-century Europe in search of his beloved. A macabre love story about oppression, corruption and intolerance.
Number 662 in the Panorama de narrativas collection. Translation by Carmen Montes Cano. August Strindberg Prize 2002.
For readers of contemporary, historical or fantasy fiction with a taste for the dark, the grotesque and tragic dramas.
Carl-Johan Emanuel Vallgren is a Swedish author, singer and musician. He won the August Prize in 2002 for the novel Den vidunderliga kärlekens historia, which was published in English translation as The Horrific Sufferings of the Mind-Reading Monster Hercules Barefoot.
