«La cuadratura del círculo» is the historical novel by Álvaro Pombo, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardback (416 pages, in Spanish).
In the twelfth century, Acardo is torn between the attraction of war, his fascination with Bernard of Clairvaux, and the seduction of Islamic culture. Pombo narrates the impossible reconciliation of religion and war, spirituality and politics, love and cruelty, and the tragedy of a man who discovers his mistake when he can no longer remedy it.
The novel was published in 1999 in Anagrama's Narrativas hispánicas collection (no. 264). It won the Fastenrath Prize from the Royal Spanish Academy in 2001.
