«El obispo leproso» is the novel by Gabriel Miró with a prologue by Javier García Sánchez, published by Bibliotex in hardcover (255 pages, in Spanish).
The novel is set in Oleza, an imaginary city based on Orihuela, and portrays passions, cruelties, loves and heroisms in a Levitical city at the end of the 19th century. The narrative moves away from the linearity of «Nuestro Padre San Daniel» and adopts a more complex structure, with rich, sensual prose that makes the setting an additional protagonist.
The work is the second part of «Nuestro Padre San Daniel», within the Oleza cycle, and this edition belongs to the collection «100 mejores novelas en castellano del siglo XX» from Biblioteca El Mundo.
For readers of 20th-century Spanish fiction who value descriptive prose and want to complete Gabriel Miró's Oleza cycle.
Gabriel Miró Ferrer, known as Gabriel Miró, was a Spanish modernist writer. In 1900 he finished his studies in law at the University of Granada and the University of Valencia. He focused mainly on writing novels, but also collaborated to a large number of newspapers such as: El Heraldo, Los Lunes de El Imparcial, ABC and El Sol. He was among the contributors of the Madrid-based avant-garde magazine Prometeo between 1908 and 1912. The rich and poetic language, the philosophical and theological ideas, and the subtle irony are some of the main characteristics of his works. Gabriel Miró preferred to focus on the intimate world of his characters and its development, in the inner relations between everything in their surrounding and the way they evolve in time.
