Erec y Enide (Erec and Enide), novel from Manuel Vázquez Montalbán, is -in a certain way- a re-reading of Erec et Enide, first part of the arthurian cycle of Chrétien de Troyes.
Our author analyzes three lonelinesses: the loneliness of Julio Matasanz, specialist in medieval literature; the loneliness of his wife, Madrona, and the loneliness of the couple formed by Myriam and Pedro (godson of Julio and Madrona).
It is a beautiful narration, in which sensibility and social critic are mixed. The reading of this book can be impoverished if the French book is unknown to the reader.
