«Manuscrito encontrado en Zaragoza» is the novel by Jan Potocki, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback, in Spanish.
Cult novel that interweaves multiple stories within a labyrinthine narrative frame: the protagonist encounters gothic characters and episodes that chain together on his journey through 18th-century Spain. It alternates costumbrista realism with formal audacity that makes it a precursor of 20th-century narrative.
1985 edition. The cover identifies it as «Biblioteca Fundamental de Nuestro Tiempo», number 92, with mention of Club Internacional del Libro.
For readers seeking a demanding read of gothic fiction and labyrinthine structure.
