The truth about the Savolta case
Original title: La verdad sobre el caso Savolta
Synopsis
In a period of political neutrality (Barcelona 1917-1919), a weapon-making company that is committed to economic disaster by labour conflicts is the backdrop of the story of Javier Miranda, the protagonist and narrator of the facts. Catalan industrial Savolta, the owner of that business that sold weapons to the allies during World War I, is killed. Humour, irony, the wealth of nuances and experiences, parody and satire, the pastiche of popular subliterature, the recovery of the narrative tradition from the Byzantine novel, the Picaresque and the books of cavalry to the modern detective account, make this novel an intelligent and fun tragicose, which placed Eduardo Mendoza among the most outstanding Spanish narrators of recent decades.
