«Paradox, rey» is the adventure novel and utopian satire by Pío Baroja, published by Austral in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
The novel blends adventure narrative with satirical utopia and philosophical tale. The protagonist moves through a chaotic and absurd reality until reaching Bu-Taca, a city with a carnivalesque air. The square's carousel, with its wooden horses spinning endlessly, becomes an image of existence as a bitter and instructive farce.
Third installment of the series «La vida fantástica» by Pío Baroja. Edition by Jesús M. Lasagabaster.
For readers of classic Spanish fiction and those interested in the Generation of '98.
