Aguirre, el magnífico (HISPANICA, Band 717031)

This novel centers on the figure of Jesus Aguirre. Former priest, doctor in theology, and former general director of music, Jesus Aguirre was a prominent intellectual. He was the head of Editorial Taurus, a member of the Royal Academy and of Bellas Artes de San Fernando, but he is perhaps most recognized for being the consort of the Duchess of Alba. Written in first person, in the manner of literary fiction, this is also a chronicle of the generations that occupied the political and social spheres from the post-war era to the beginning of the twenty-first century.
