Luis María Cazorla is presenting his latest work in Madrid, a historical novel that ends his trilogy on this subject.
Casa Árabe presents this historical novel which continues the narration of an essential episode in Spain’s history, examined by Luis María Cazorla through his two prior works, La ciudad del Lucus (The City of the Lucus, 2011) and El general Silvestre y la sombra del Raisuni (General Silvestre and the Shadow of the Raisuni, 2013), also published by the Almuzara publishing firm.
Participating in the presentation along with the author are Pedro Bofill, former Member of the European Parliament and President of the Friends of Morocco Association; Raimundo Basols, former Ambassador to Morocco; Feliciano Barrios, a member and the current Secretary of Spain’s Royal Academy of History, and Eduardo López Busquets, the General Director of Casa Árabe.
August 1919. Moved by his zeal for taking up arms in Morocco once again, after being the assistant to King Alfonso XIII for four years, General Silvestre goes back into war as Commander General of Ceuta. Soon his laurels as a national hero will grow green once again, particularly with the occupation of the Fondak in Ain Jedida. His comrade in arms in the cavalry, General Berenguer, who has stayed a step ahead of him by being named fourth High Commissioner in Morocco, is wary of Silvestre and dead set on defeating the charismatic Moulay Ahmed El Raisuni for good. As for Pedro Robi, a prosperous merchant from Larache, he follows a path in his personal life and business that leads him to deal with characters like Horacio Echevarrieta and Ignacio Bauer in Madrid frequently, while Guardia Civil Captain Carlos Pozo returns to Larache to clear up the mysterious death of a Franciscan lay friar and investigate the growing evidence that a corruption scheme exists in the army supply system.
