«Los fantasmas de Goya» is the historical novel by Jean-Claude Carrière and Milos Forman, published by Tusquets Editores S.A. in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
In 1791, with the Inquisition in its final throes, Goya is a painter of the Spanish court. Among his clients are Lorenzo Casamares, a Dominican of the Holy Office, and Inés Bilbatua, daughter of a wealthy landowner. When Lorenzo sees a sketch of Inés, their fates intertwine in a story of accusations, persecutions, love and imprisonment that extends to the Napoleonic invasion and the reign of Ferdinand VII.
It is volume 617 of the Andanzas collection. The movie of the same name, with a screenplay by Carrière and Forman and directed by the latter, stars Javier Bardem, Natalie Portman and Stellan Skarsgård.
Intended for readers of historical fiction and for those who wish to approach Goya's Spain through fiction.
