Las rosas imperiales is a collection of eighteen stories by the author Luigi Malerba, which stand out for their intelligent and sharp humor. Set in ancient China, these stories serve as a pretext for a scathing critique of despotism and the dark interests that feed tyrannies. Malerba also criticizes the thirst for power and its destructive effect on institutions. This 2005 edition, published by Gadir Editorial, presents a reflection on the human condition and power, all of which is easy to recognize in our environment.
