With the intention of burying his father in the village where he was born, Daniel sets off on a journey in a very unusual car - a hearse - driven by an Ecuadorian who is both colourful and chatty, in the best comic tradition. Who is Dani Mosca really? Perhaps, as he himself maintains, he is just a guy who writes songs, especially songs about love.
Tirant lo Blanch is one most interesting and representative novels in world literature. It was written by a Valencian, Joanot Martorell, at a time when our language was spoken and written on all the routes across the Mediterranean. Through its pages you will take part in the military and romantic adventures of a knight who wanted to achieve one dream: to liberate Constantinople from its enemies.
A nun embarrassed by the caresses of two young lovers; a gang of labourers who make a stand against their master; a group of republican prisoners in postwar prisons and an mixed race couple in a segregated area of the United States. These are some of the themes developed by Luisa Carnés, the great forgotten author of 27, in this first anthology of her stories.
