El hijo del Capitán Trueno

The fame of Miguel Bosé is such that most of us consider him an old acquaintance. Someone who we think we know everything about and who, we think, is very difficult to surprise us. However, if there is something for which the author has an extraordinary talent, and he has demonstrated it from the beginning of his career, it is to pulverize prejudices. All readers who have asked themselves, "What can you tell me that I don't know?" they will be captivated by the first pages (and what pages!) of a story, his, which begins with the breath of timeless tales: children lost at the mercy of an almighty father, used to his will being the law, and an overwhelming mother of legendary beauty. Generous and bold as we have never seen him, the author offers us the lesser-known face of memorable characters, from a vulnerable and twilight Picasso, to the beautiful and cursed Helmut Berger. And, destined to remain with us long after the book is closed, the Tata, an authentic beneficent spirit, who reminds us of courageous women willing to do anything to protect defenseless creatures. A story that takes place in the country of our past, that draws on the memories of our childhood and youth and that shows, once again, that in contradiction, in pain and in the joy of living, Miguel Bosé understands us, we accompanies and represents us.
