«Yo, la muerte. Felipe II sobrerano de medio mundo» is the historical novel by Hermann Kesten, published by Edhasa in paperback (544 pages, in Spanish).
The starting point is the signature with which Philip II closed his final orders to the Spanish colonies in America and Africa. The narrative follows the monarch from his second marriage, to Mary I of England, to his old age at El Escorial, and shows the effects of religious fanaticism and absolute power, defending tolerance as the only viable political path.

Reading for fans of historical fiction and novelized portraits of Spanish monarchs.
