The novel alternates two eras in the same Aranjuez: the court of Charles IV and the months before the Second Republic.

For a general fiction audience interested in Spanish history and the social changes experienced by the characters.
José Luis Sampedro Sáez was a Spanish economist and writer who advocated an economy "more humane, more caring, able to help develop the dignity of peoples". Academician of the Real Academia Española since 1990, he was the recipient of the Order of Arts and Letters of Spain, the Menéndez Pelayo International Prize (2010) and the Spanish Literature National Prize (2011). He became an inspiration for the anti-austerity movement in Spain.
