The prose alternates baroque ornamentation with simplicity and adapts to the action.
Third instalment of Torrente Ballester's fantastic trilogy; it won the Premio Nacional de Narrativa in 1981.
For readers of Spanish fiction interested in works that combine history, fantasy and reflections on literature itself.
