Title: Libre para su leyenda
Description: In this new foray into the historical novel, Carlos Abin returns to the Great War, a decisive conflict in national history that has been scarcely addressed from literature, at least until the publication of Otra vez las viejas lágrimas, his previous opus. Libre para su leyenda, is not as markedly epic as the first, because the perspective chosen by the author, that of a Garibaldi at the end of his life, infuses him with a lyricism, a more intimate, more reflective, emotional magnitude that is moving. Less epic and much more lyrical, this novel confirms the firmness of Abin's compelling narrative pulse.
