As illas dos deuses

Buenos Aires, 1948. Castelao has just delivered the speech "Dawn of Groria" at a time when he already knows he has cancer. It is then when an assassin of the pro-Franco government appears in the Argentine city with the order to kill Castelao. Suddenly, for an unexpected reason, the past returns strongly to the memory of the Galician moving it to a summer that will live on the Island of Ons. The presence of the assassin, an abject character, responsible for "walks" and murders after the outbreak of the Civil War and a member of Franco's secret police, leads Castelao to that summer which, when he was young, he had spent on the island reflecting and painting, facing the fact that he did not wish to practice medicine. Halfway between fiction and historical reality, "As illas dos deuses" is an exciting intrigue novel built from the reinvention of our history and the life of one of the most mythical figures in Galician culture.
