«Las Islas Extraordinarias» is the novel by Gonzalo Torrente Ballester, published in 1999 by Planeta in paperback (168 pages, in Spanish).
A private detective accepts the task of uncovering and thwarting a conspiracy that threatens the dictator of a tiny country made up of three islands. During his investigation he comes across an almost caricatural regime and an increasingly nebulous plot, in an ironic fable about absolute power and its inhuman consequences.
For readers of contemporary fiction and political satires with a fable-like air, interested in twentieth-century Spanish literature.
Gonzalo Torrente Ballester was a Spanish writer associated with the Generation of '36 movement.
