«Siete días en Nueva Creta» is the science fiction novel by Robert Graves, published in 1984 by Seix Barral in paperback (314 pages, in Spanish).
Edward Venn-Thomas wakes in a future Neo-Cretan society where hunger and discontent have been abolished, war is a game, and poets and magicians maintain order. That utopia proves, however, bland and monotonous; the Goddess has chosen the protagonist to reintroduce evil and give its inhabitants a more intense life.
Translation by Lucía Graves. Part of the Biblioteca de Bolsillo collection; the original title is 'Seven Days in New Crete' (1949).
With its blend of science fiction and myth, it will appeal to readers of speculative fiction and those who enjoy utopian worlds.
Robert Ranke Graves, whose second name is sometimes given as von Ranke, was an English poet, novelist and critic. His father was Alfred Perceval Graves, a celebrated Irish poet and figure in the Gaelic revival; they were both Celticists and students of Irish mythology.
