Description
The Transparency of Time by Leonardo Padura is a gripping mystery that spans centuries and continents. As Mario Conde faces his 60th birthday, he's tasked with tracking down a stolen statue of the Virgen de Regla, a black Madonna with a complex history.
Conde's quest takes him on a journey through 21st-century Havana and into the distant past, as he delves back to the Crusades in search of the statue's true provenance. Along the way, he encounters a mysterious figure known only as Antoni Barral, whose life is woven throughout history in different guises.
This thought-provoking novel weaves together vignettes from Barral's life, tracing the Madonna's journey from its origins to present-day Cuba. With its unique blend of history, mystery, and spirituality, The Transparency of Time offers a fascinating panorama of human experience.
