«Vida y fugas de Fanto Fantini della Gherardesca» is the novel by Álvaro Cunqueiro, published by Planeta in hardback (183 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows the Italian condottiero Fanto Fantini, famous in the early Renaissance for his prodigious escapes. With humour and absurdity, Cunqueiro weaves a chivalric and Byzantine tale in which the protagonist transmutes into the four elements and embodies fantasy against the advance of reason.
This 1996 edition belongs to the Nuestros Clásicos Contemporáneos collection; the work was originally published in 1972 and includes an epilogue by Carlos G. Reigosa.
A key work in Cunqueiro's universe, recommended for readers of fantastic fiction and twentieth-century Spanish literature.
