Author: Elik G. Troconis.
This afternoon at 7.30 pm, the Fundación Casa de México in Spain presents in its auditorium the book La joya robada (The Stolen Jewel), by Elik G. Troconis.
Elik G. Troconis offers a novel that takes the Cervantinos characters and creates with them an amusing detective novel in which the ingenious don Quixote of La Mancha must investigate the theft of the most precious jewel of one of the characters and restore order inside the inn.
Winner of the Fenal-Norma National Literature Prize (Mexico), La joya robada recovers the classic Cervantino, but now in the form of a detective novel in which the Knight of the Sad Figure turns into a mad Sherlock Holmes.
The author of the work and Alfonso Mateo-Sagasta, historian and writer, will participate in the presentation.
