«La sombra del tiempo» is the novel by Carlos Pujol, published by Bruguera in paperback (319 pages, in Spanish).
The work is set in Rome at the end of the eighteenth century, where beauty and decadence coexist. A young French widow, who emigrated after the Terror, evokes three decades later the events she lived through in the Eternal City during a winter between 1799 and 1800. The narrative blends nostalgias, dreams, loves, a pathetic vision of power, the revolutionary upheaval and the simulacra of art, with a humble presence of sanctity.
First novel published by Carlos Pujol, who began his narrative career late. The action takes place over only one winter, between Christmas 1799 and Easter 1800.
