«La torre herida por el rayo» is the novel by Fernando Arrabal, published in 1983 by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (286 pages, in Spanish).
The narrative is set in Barcelona and pits two characters of opposite temperaments against each other in a game of chess: one represents passion; the other, reason and revolution. From that duel, the work combines crime, political and scientific registers and leads along paths that go from madness to mysticism.
The work was awarded the Premio Nadal de Novela in 1982 and belongs to the Lauro collection, from Círculo de Lectores.
For readers of contemporary literary fiction interested in Spanish narrative, chess and the conflict between reason and passion.
