time ago in this blog I asked for suggestions for reading, and one of them was "The amazing journey of Pomponio Flato" by Eduardo Mendoza, suggested by DAC (thank you very much). In my opinion it is a great book I keep recommending to my friends.
The title attracts rather little, and perhaps the synopsis of the cover will not do much justice.
Marigold the book is that it is written in language so convoluted that sometimes you like to have a dictionary nearby. But cultism make the humor that emerges, it could become tacky in other words, is subtle and distinctive.
The novel is led by a Roman (Pomponio) that the news has come that there is a spring that gives wisdom. Due to start testing for all sources with crosses, he has diarrhea that will last months. And in the first century, intestinal disorders were even less fun.
Under these conditions, due to its quality of "wise", someone asks for help in shedding a murder case.
In summary, guarantee intrigue, laughter, and a probable enrichment of vocabulary.
