About the Book

The adventurous and admired Brother Servando Teresa de Mier was a well-known historical character, which the author has used as protagonist of this novel. He was a Mexican religious preacher who lived at the turn of the XVIII and beginning of the XIX century and whose unorthodox ideas gave place to accusations, exiles, and even jail sentences. He traveled tirelessly through the Spain of Charles IV and Godoy, the France of Chateaubriand and Madame de Stael, the England of Lady Hamilton, Italy, the United States, and Cuba. In the tradition of the best Cuban Baroque literature, Reinaldo Arenas weaves an authentic adventure novel granting it a fable-like, almost mythical dimension.
