✦ Synopsis

En el Rastro de Madrid aparece un cuadro perdido de Goya. A partir de este hecho insΓ³lito, comienza un relato de farsantes, marginados, fracasados y vencidos, en el que destaca la verdadera protagonista: la ciudad de Madrid, siniestra y oscura, de los aΓ±os sesenta del siglo pasado. El desvarΓ­o de una sociedad asfixiada por el rΓ©gimen de Franco, la hipocresΓ­a, el mal de conciencia y la grisura de unas vidas condenadas al ostracismo son los ejes de esta novela, en la que Gonzalo Torrente Ballester se adentra en las profundidades del ser humano sin hacer concesiones sentimentales y huyendo del realismo ingenuo. El resultado es un retablo inquietante y aleccionador de un pasado no tan lejano.
