Summary
Publisher Annotation: Stanisław Poniatowski walks through the solitude of his palace, he has just been appointed king, but the problems have not been long in coming: the debts of the crown are uncountable, his family conspires against him and his neighbors, Russia, Austria and Prussia, threaten with destroy all that he has fought for. Will he be able to keep his kingdom united? Two hundred years later, Elena is part of a Mexico that seeks the longed-for "modernity" and her work as a journalist allows her to be a privileged witness of that transformation, also involving her in experiences of all kinds, from encounters with politicians and guerrillas to irreplaceable loves and losses. . This book concludes the story of the last king of Poland, from his coronation to his inevitable denouement as the biggest loser in a Europe marked by conspiracies. At the same time, throughout its pages a splendid mosaic of the cultural and political chiaroscuro of Mexico is drawn. Elena Poniatowska, 2013 Cervantes Prize winner, gives a masterful closing to her most personal novel, where the passions of kings and distant courts are interwoven with the searches and obsessions of a unique writer. Biblioteca breve (Seix Barral) series, Mexico, 560pp
