El gigante enterrado
Ishiguro, Kazuo
England in the Middle Ages. Only ruins remain from the Romans' passage through the island, and Arthur and Merlin are legends of the past. Ogres still live in the mist, and British and Saxons coexist in a barren land, spread out in small villages. In one of them lives an elderly couple -Axl and Beatrice- who decide to leave in search of their son. He left a long time ago, although the specific circumstances of that departure do not remember them, because, like the rest of the inhabitants of the region, they have lost a good part of their memory due to what they call "the fog." On their journey they will meet a Saxon warrior named Wistan; a young man who bears a stigmatizing wound; and an old Sir Gawain, the last living Arthurian knight, who wanders his horse through these lands with the task, he says, of taking down a female dragon that lives in the mountains. Together they will face the dangers of the journey, Lord Brennus' soldiers, monks who practice strange rites of atonement, and far less earthly presences. But each of these travelers carries with him secrets, guilt pending redemption and, in some cases, an atrocious mission to fulfill.
