Aguirre, el magnífico (Spanish Edition)

This novel centers on the figure of Jesus Aguirre, former priest, doctor in theology, and prominent intellectual. He was the head of Editorial Taurus, a member of the Real Academia de la Lengua, and of Bellas Artes de San Fernando, but he is perhaps most recognized for being the consort of the Duchess of Alba. Written in first person, in the manner of literary fiction, this is also a chronicle of the generations that occupied the political and social spheres from the post-war era to the beginning of the twentyfirst century. Spanish Description: Un clerigo volteriano se convirtio en duque de Alba. Este relato no es exactamente una biografia de Jesus Aguirre, sino un retablo iberico donde este personaje se refleja en los espejos deformantes del callejon del Gato, como una figura de la corte de los milagros de Valle-Inclan. Medio siglo de la historia de Espana forma parte de este esperpento literario.
