This novel by Gabriel Miró, published in two parts (Nuestro padre San Daniel in 1921 and El obispo leproso in 1926), transports us to Oleza, a Levantine city of the 19th century. Through masterful prose, Miró explores the passions, cruelties, loves, and sacrifices of its inhabitants, offering a profound reflection on the human condition, the power of time, and the pursuit of happiness. This edition, with the collaboration of Miguel Ángel Lozano Marco, reveals the culmination of Miró's work and its impact on the Spanish novel.
Gabriel Miró Ferrer, known as Gabriel Miró, was a Spanish modernist writer. In 1900 he finished his studies in law at the University of Granada and the University of Valencia. He focused mainly on writing novels, but also collaborated to a large number of newspapers such as: El Heraldo, Los Lunes de El Imparcial, ABC and El Sol. He was among the contributors of the Madrid-based avant-garde magazine Prometeo between 1908 and 1912. The rich and poetic language, the philosophical and theological ideas, and the subtle irony are some of the main characteristics of his works. Gabriel Miró preferred to focus on the intimate world of his characters and its development, in the inner relations between everything in their surrounding and the way they evolve in time.
