«La construcción de la torre» is the novel by William Golding, published by Edhasa in paperback (208 pages, in Spanish).
Dean Jocelin believes God has entrusted him with erecting a tower of one hundred and twenty meters over a cathedral without foundations to support it. His obsession drags those around him into economic and personal problems, while he defies fire, plagues and death. Ambition, faith and human nature: the tower symbolizes greatness and pettiness.
William Golding received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1983; this paperback edition was published that year.
For readers of classic fiction and historical fiction seeking a novel of obsession and ambition set in the Middle Ages.
