About This Book

Una trilogía dramática reúne tres tragedias que trazan la caída y el legado del destino en una familia real. En la primera, el rey, al investigar una peste, descubre que sin saberlo mató a su padre y se casó con su madre, lo que provoca su ruina y autoexilio. La segunda sigue al protagonista ciego y errante que busca un lugar de descanso y acepta el fin decretado por los dioses. La tercera se centra en una hermana que desafía la orden estatal que niega sepultura a su hermano, desencadenando un choque entre autoridad y deber familiar con desenlaces fatales. Los textos exploran destino frente a responsabilidad, ley divina frente a ley civil y el precio del orgullo.
