«Siete casas en Francia» is the historical novel by Bernardo Atxaga, published by Alfaguara in paperback (264 pages, in Spanish).
In Yangambi, by the Congo River, a garrison of King Leopold II of Belgium's army obeys Lalande Biran, a poet hungry for fortune. The arrival of Officer Chrysostome Liège disrupts the order among eccentric characters who turn the jungle into a circus of ambition and absurdity. Humour and adventure are the metaphor for the world's sinister side.
The Spanish edition is part of Alfaguara's Hispánica collection and was translated from Basque by Maria Asun Garikano and Bernardo Atxaga.
For readers of historical and literary fiction seeking adventure, humour, and a critical view of power and colonialism.
Bernardo Atxaga, pseudonym of Joseba Irazu Garmendia, is a Spanish Basque writer and self-translator.
