Paradox, Rey: Novela

the long version

With elements of the adventure novel, the utopian novel and even the philosophical story, in Paradox, Rey has built Pío Baroja an absolutely original novel universe. As in a great carnival fair, the reader here contemplates a utopia that, not for picturesque, ceases to be sobering. The city of Bu-Taca, with its roundabout in the middle of the square and the little wooden horses spinning desperately without rest, just as men, without object, without end, constitute the full image of that bitter farce of existence that is In short, Paradox, King.
