«La cuadratura del círculo» is the historical novel by Álvaro Pombo, published by Planeta Pub Corp in paperback (416 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Acardo, a twelfth-century man whose life is buffeted by conflicting loyalties: war, monastic life, the court of the Duke of Aquitaine, and the influence of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux. Pombo explores the impossible attempt to unify religion and war, spirituality and politics, love and cruelty.
Part of the Quinteto Bolsillo collection (no. 48). Winner of the Fastenrath Prize from the Royal Spanish Academy.
Recommended for readers of historical fiction and contemporary Spanish narrative.
