«La Ville Invisible» is the historical novel by Emili Rosales, published by Actes Sud in hardcover (310 pages, in French).
In the eighteenth century, Charles III projects an ideal city in the Ebro delta, of which only vestiges remain. A Barcelona gallery owner receives an anonymous manuscript from the architect; amid courtly intrigues and secret passions, the text narrates the disappearance of a Tiepolo canvas and leads the protagonist to investigate the secrets of his childhood.
Winner of the Premi Sant Jordi 2004, originally published in Catalan as «La ciutat invisible»; the French translation is by Edmond Raillard.
For readers of historical fiction and literary fiction interested in Enlightenment-era Spain, art, and plots connecting past and present.
