«La torre vigía» is the novel by Ana María Matute, published by Bibliotex in hardcover (189 pages, in Spanish).
The narrative follows the formative years of an adolescent destined to be knighted in a dark and legendary medieval world, where reality blends with fable. In the form of a chivalric romance with an autobiographical tone, the novel addresses heroism, superstition, violence and barbarism from a modern sensibility.
This edition includes a prologue by Soledad Puértolas. It is the first installment of Matute's Medieval Trilogy; the novel was originally published in 1971.
It will appeal to readers of Spanish fiction, medieval fantasy, classics and coming-of-age novels.
