Produktbeschreibung

This time the plot shifts to the millenary Castile and a town that was a meeting place for witches and Templar knights. Enriquito, our protagonist, is sent to his aunt and uncle's house by Auxilio Social, after his parents died in Madrid in a bombing. There he spends his days running around with his new friends from the village, especially Cipri, and seeing shadows and ghosts in the old family house. One of these 'ghosts' is his uncle Paulino who, as things stand, prefers to play dead. The mean counterpoint is provided by Don Pascual, the village priest, a hardcore Falangist, who denounces his neighbors as reds and is a miserable person. Until the Templar knight, one of the shadows, decides to take revenge. Castilian Gothic takes on a new meaning with this title by Mikel Atz.
If you loved the atmosphere in the film 'Pan's labyrinth' by Guillermo del Toro, if you want to know how people lived in the postwar years in deep Spain, if you'd like to confront harsh reality with magic and local legends, don't look any further: this is your story.

Autorenporträt

Este escritor de nuestra colección es, ante todo, un chicarrón del norte que envuelve su ficción en la bruma y las leyendas de ese mítico territorio. Igual nos traslada a Euskadi que a Asturias que a Galicia que al norte más remoto de Castilla.

Su nombre, de hecho, viene de Mikelatz, uno de los dos hijos de los dioses vascos Sugaar y Mari. Su nombre es de por sí evocador, pero no hay nada más evocador que su prosa.
