Description: "In August 1592, a sheriff and his two assistants arrive at the monastery of Úbeda, with the secret task of transferring the body of Fray Juan de la Cruz, the great Carmelite poet and mystic, who died the year before, to his final abode in Segovia. When they find him 'incorrupt and as fresh as when he died,' there is an ecstatic fervor for the friar's body...all kinds of adventures and misfortunes happen, with characters that seem to be drawn from mythological deeds. The story told by Luis Felipe Fabre masterfully intertwines with the friar's verses, as if they had prophesied the delirium that would surround his own posthumous transfer"--Mercado libre website.
