Description
La ciudad de los prodigios is a satirical and imaginative novel that explores the tumultuous and vibrant city of Barcelona between two World's Fairs. Against this real and fictional backdrop, Onofre Bouvila, a poor immigrant, rises to power in both finance and crime. This unique blend of picaresque fiction and local mythology creates a lively and fantastical narrative. Mendoza presents a bold and imaginative take on the city's myths and fasts, balancing realistic initial foundations with free-wheeling fantasy. A fascinating and humorous tale emerges from this unlikely combination of fact and fiction.
