In my opinion, this is one of the best novels written in Latin America. This historical novel captures the spirit of the Italian Renaissance through its depiction of the Orsini family. It expertly blends history with a rarefied atmosphere of fantasy. This text is universal and can be counted among the best historical novels in all literature.
