«La cuadratura del círculo» is the historical novel by Álvaro Pombo, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (334 pages, in Spanish).
Set in the 12th century, the novel follows Acardo, a man who tries to reconcile religion and war, spirituality and politics, love and cruelty. Between fascination with Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, the court of the Duke of Aquitaine and Islamic culture, Acardo's project proves as impossible as squaring the circle.
The novel received the Fastenrath Prize from the Royal Spanish Academy.
For those who enjoy historical fiction and Spanish narrative set in the Middle Ages.
