Fiction
THE GREEN KNIGHT
by Javier Lorenzo
Description
WINNER OF THE
XIII LOGROÑO DE NARRATIVA AWARD 2019
Historical novel based on the life of Sancho Martín, a real Spanish knight of the 12th century, who traveled to Holy Land, at the other end of the Mediterranean to fight in the crusades, where he met Saladin and played an epic chess game with him. His name appears in both Christian and Muslim chronicles for his acts of courage and strategy. He was known as “The Green Knight”, always dressed in green with an antlers topped helm. He will take part in the third and fourth crusade, develop a scam trafficking with relics, suffer the rising power of Inquisition and even witness the birth of Catalonia. A cavalry novel that reads like a page turner.

“An historical fiction with good dose of adventure, romance and touches of humor, whose main character appears in Christian and Arab chronicles of the time.” El Español
“Thanks to a real but unknown hero it tells us the wide magnitude of the Spanish history mixing betrayal, deceit, loyalty and admiration through a nowadays style.” 20 minutos
