To anyone that you feel like traveling to Madrid's Golden Age, which point to read this book, "Ink Thief" written by Alfonso Matthew Sagasta, for the trip this time will be a tour of the city of those times.
The author takes us by the hand and shows us a wonderful portrait of the manners and customs of the time in question, you'll see the daily life of the city, they live their citizens, such as streets and, of course, will also see important personages of the time and relationships between them .... Alfonso Mateo, the author takes us on a tour of Madrid, under the guise of an investigation into the authorship of a book and that book !!... ...¡¡ and keeps us in suspense until This final ... book has received many awards, such as the City of Zaragoza Award Historical Novel, among others.
Well, now I have to talk to me the book .... if I tell you the truth, not much has convinced me this book, and it is for one simple reason: while recognizing that it is an admirable tour Madrid's Golden Age, with their characters, their customs, social and political life, high society, the mob ... and literary circles, etc. and is logradÃsimo, research carried out by the main character me was boring, almost slow and from almost the beginning more or less you realize that author who can be mysterious .... in my case, my suspicions came true ... and that's where I got the great disappointment ... because I personally do not like hitting the mysteries of the books ....¡¡ grace that takes away the mystery!
I would highlight in particular the portrait of Madrid at that time ... and would class more as a historical novel as a book of intrigue and mystery ... but of course this is my opinion
Despite my experience, I recommend that you read, it is very curious details about the life of the time, and there are funny moments in the adventures and misadventures of his main character, is a curious book ...
