Carolus Rex is a historical novel by Ramón J. Sender that demystifies the motivations of human behavior, whether individual or collective. The work reconstructs the character of Charles II the Bewitched, whose reign marked the decline of Spain. Through first-hand documentation and with hardly any intervention of poetic fantasy, Sender offers a living document to understand the change in the course of history in a period full of unfortunate events for Spain.
Ramón José Sender Garcés was a Spanish novelist, essayist and journalist. Several of his works were translated into English by the distinguished zoologist, Sir Peter Chalmers Mitchell, including Seven Red Sundays , Mr Witt Among the Rebels and The War in Spain (Contraataque). He published articles in the Valencia-based Orto magazine between 1932 and 1934. During the Spanish Civil War Sender was among the contributors of El Mono Azul, a Republican literary magazine.
