Reis del Món
by Sebastià Alzamora
The lifelong friendship of a philosopher and a banker, both highly prestigious and important personalities in Spain throughout the 20th century and coming from the same village on the island of Majorca, is the starting point of one of the most original novels of ideas of the past decades. Sebastià Alzamora's writing has been hailed by the New York Times as "startling... a concentrated power, akin to poetry."
