King Cophetua

Más información sobre el libro

Set on All Saints' Day in 1917, the story unfolds through the eyes of a former soldier reflecting on his visit to Jacques Nueil, an aviator and avant-garde composer. As the backdrop of the Great War merges with the impending Russian Revolution, the atmosphere is thick with tension, accentuated by distant bomb sounds. The narrative is enriched by vivid memories and inspired by Goya's engraving La Mala Noche and Burne-Jones's painting King Cophetua and the Beggar Girl, creating a hauntingly immersive experience.
