Written in Spanish and translated into Bulgarian by the author himself, this autobiographical novel opens a trilogy that follows a life in phases, like a butterfly's. Its narrator, a former writer stuck in Madrid after the Berlin Wall fell, recalls his turbulent youth at home: an amateur hypnotist and stranded Don Quixote whom the authorities forbid to travel, with a mysterious Dulcinea and a loyal but destructive 'Sancha' at his side. An unreachable love carries the story across thirty-five years and through the Balkans, Cuba, Spain, the Soviet Union and America, touching on violence, personal freedom and his love for two languages and literatures, Spanish and Bulgarian.
