In 1808, Joseph Bonaparte is in Bayonne, summoned by his brother Napoleon, who has asked him to renounce the kingdom of Naples to occupy the throne of Spain. In Bayonne, Joseph converses with the emperor, learns of the intrigues of the Spanish royal family, and prepares to be a good king for that country that is unknown to him. However, alarming news soon begins to arrive about the atrocities committed by Murat in Madrid and the growing activity of guerrillas throughout the peninsula. When the new monarch enters Madrid, he understands that, despite his good intentions, everything he does will be in vain.
With fascinating historical material, Vallejo-Nágera has written a novel full of human truth, where the historical characters, especially Joseph I, acquire a new life thanks to the author's talent.
