«La torre herida por el rayo» is the novel by Fernando Arrabal, published by Ediciones Destino in paperback (249 pages, in Spanish).
The novel pits two characters of opposite temperaments against each other in a chess game: one responds to passion and the other to reason, like two worldviews inspired by yin and yang. Their lives intertwine through the underworld of Barcelona and the Scientific Research Center in Paris, in a plot of police, political and scientific adventures that descends into madness and mysticism.
Winner of the Eugenio Nadal Prize 1982, it was first published in 1983.
A suitable read for fans of contemporary Spanish fiction and chess plots.
