About This Book

Ambientada durante una ocupación militar, la narración ofrece un fresco coral de la vida en la capital mediante conversaciones públicas, escenas costumbristas y pequeños episodios que giran en torno a la partida de la corte y al movimiento de tropas. Rumores y debates sirven para mostrar intereses contrapuestos, ambiciones discretas y la hipocresía social, mientras el autor alterna el humor con la crítica política. A través de personajes de distintos ámbitos se exploran las tensiones entre las ideas y la violencia, y se despliega una estructura episódica que combina diálogo y descripción para trazar el paisaje moral y social de la época.
