«La torre vigía» is the first novel in Ana María Matute's medieval trilogy, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (249 pages, in Spanish).
The first-person narrative follows a young knight in a medieval world of mythical and sensual contours, caught between superstition and barbarism. Throughout his coming of age, the protagonist discovers a realm governed by primitive instincts, where memory, violence, love and solitude blend in a passage from childhood to maturity.
Originally published in 1971, this edition appeared in 1994 within the Biblioteca de autor collection.
For readers of historical and coming-of-age fiction, with an interest in twentieth-century Spanish literature and the Middle Ages recreated as myth.
