Lo que sé de los vampiros

Martín de Viloalle was promised to the Jesuits as a child. In 1767 Spain expels the order, and the young novice follows it abroad. The choice, along with a run of comic and painful mishaps, carries him through Rome, the German principalities, Denmark and Paris in revolution. He falls in with a roving crowd of philosophers, performers and frauds who live off the boredom of aristocrats, wearing masks so long that they end up helping to shape the modern world.
