«Libro de los venenos» is the work by Antonio Gamoneda, published by Siruela in hardback (169 pages, in Spanish).
Drawing on the tradition of treatises on poisons compiled by Pedacio Dioscórides and Andrés de Laguna, Antonio Gamoneda builds a fable about corruption. Classical erudition is thus transformed into a piece of literature.
