«Manuscrito encontrado en Zaragoza» is Jan Potocki's fantastic novel, published by Valdemar in paperback (989 pages, in Spanish).
A novel with a labyrinthine structure that interweaves stories within stories, with a tone combining the fantastic, the Gothic and the philosophical. A bridge work between the Enlightenment and Romanticism, it stands out for its innovative formal approach, its multiple levels of fiction and its blend of registers, from humor to mystery.
This Valdemar edition belongs to the El Club Diógenes collection (no. 173). The work was originally published in 1847; the translation is by Mauro Fernández Alonso De Armiño.
Aimed at readers of classics, fantastic and Gothic literature, and those seeking novels with complex structures and stories within stories.
Count Jan Potocki was a Polish nobleman, ethnologist, linguist, traveller and author of the Enlightenment period, whose life and exploits made him a celebrated figure in Poland. He is known chiefly for his picaresque novel, The Manuscript Found in Saragossa.
