«Desfile de ciervos» is the novel by Manuel Vicent, published by Alfaguara in paperback (304 pages, in Spanish).
In 1994 a renowned artist is commissioned to paint a portrait of the royal family. The painting, with its sketched figures, remains covered for twenty years in a palace room, and when the sheets are finally removed, the canvas reflects everything that has happened outside it: guilt, renunciations, corruption, crimes and love stories. The novel combines fiction and reality with irony to recreate the flip side of Spain's recent history.
It is part of the Hispánica collection. It is the third installment of the fresco of contemporary Spanish history begun with «Aguirre, el magnífico» and «El azar de la mujer rubia».
Manuel Vicent is a Spanish writer. He was born in La Vilavella, Castellón and studied philosophy and law at the University of Valencia. A prolific author, he has written more than 40 books. He has won several literary prizes, including the Premio Nadal and the Premio Alfaguara, which he won twice.
