«El dios escorpión» is a collection of three short novels by William Golding, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together three short novels: «El dios escorpión», in pharaonic Egypt; «Clonc-clonc», at the origins of humanity; and «El enviado especial», in decadent Rome. Golding combines the reconstruction of the past with deliberate anachronisms to explore the fragility of moral norms and the ambiguity of human nature.
Volume 468 of the «El Libro de Bolsillo» collection from Alianza Editorial. Translated by Ernestina de Champourcin.
Recommended for readers of literary fiction interested in historical fiction and the work of William Golding, author of «El Señor de las Moscas».
