In 'The King's Doctor', Joan Olivares transports us to 15th century Spain through the life of Lluís Alcanyís, a doctor who remembers his childhood in Xàtiva, marked by the crossroads between his Jewish roots and the Christian faith in which he was educated. After studying in Naples and becoming a prominent doctor, as well as founder of the Estudi General de València, Alcanyís faces the Inquisition, which threatens his life for valuing freedom of thought. This novel, winner of the Premi Enric Valor, recreates a crucial moment in history through the eyes of a wise man who doubts, loves and defends his ideals.
