Více o knize
The medieval legend of the fairy Melusina, condemned by her mother to have the lower half of her body take the form of a serpent every Saturday, serves as the fabulous material for Manuel Mujica Láinez in this singular novel. The unicorn represents for the Middle Ages, within the author's work, what Bomarzo was for the Renaissance: a colossal poetic recreation that plays with the atmosphere of the past to offer a story of suggestive beauty, rare and absorbing. History and magic, the meticulous reconstruction of distant environments, and an original fantasy that animates every page combine in an unforgettable narrative that undoubtedly constitutes one of the masterpieces of the great Argentine writer.
