In 'Las gallinas del Licenciado', José Jiménez Lozano presents us with a story set in 16th-century Spain, where the Licenciado don Juan de Palacios plans to give his protégé, doña Catalina, some Turkish hens as a wedding gift. Catalina's future husband is a soldier named don Miguel de Cervantes, a man of letters who participated in the Battle of Lepanto. Through a narrative that mixes adventure and everyday life, Jiménez Lozano offers an ironic review of the novelistic tradition of the time, immersing the reader in a narrative game that evokes Spanish modernity. The novel stands out for its narrative fluidity, the depth of its Cervantine characters, and its ingenious use of language.
José Jiménez Lozano was a Spanish writer. In 2002 he was awarded the Miguel de Cervantes Prize.
