El Caballero de Sajonia

El ultimo libro de Juan Benet es una reflexion literaria y filosofica sobre la condicion humana. El caballero de Sajonia es la ultima novela de Juan Benet, y toda una excepcion en el marco de su narrativa. Se trata de una novela historica sobre la figura de Martin Lutero, enfocada en un momento de cisivo para los destino s de toda Europa. Aun sujetandose a las reglas del genero, Benet acierta a dotar a su relato de la sutileza y de la hondura que caracterizan su arte literario, que en esta novela de madurez, breve y enganosamente ligera, brilla con toda su maestria. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The Duke of Saxony is the last novel by Juan Benet, and is an exception to the framework of his narrative. It is a historical novel about the figure of Martin Luther, focused on a decisive moment in all of Europe’s destiny. While still abiding by the rules of the genre, Benet skillfully endows his tale with the depth and subtleness that characterize his literary art, which shines with his skill in this short and deceptively light novel.
