Synopsis
“In fact these kids’ fantastic stories had their roots in a much more fantastic world than the one their imaginations created.”
A bestseller in Spain when censorship was lifted after Franco’s death, The Fallen has been hailed as the most important Spanish novel written since the Spanish Civil War. It is also the first of Juan Marsé’s internationally acclaimed novels to appear in English.
Set on the streets of postwar Barcelona, the center of anti-Francoist sentiment, The Fallen is a Goyaesque fresco of corrupted lives, seen through the eyes of a gang of streetwise slum kids.

Condition: Good. Most days, I steal from ships to earn a living. Not glamorous, admittedly, but it's honest work. Okay, fine. It isn't honest either, but it means I get to eat. Until one night, a sinfully sexy angel strides into my favorite dance hall and compels me to work for him. It isn't just work, though. He wants me to be his wife in Castle Hades. Apparently, his prophetic dreams say I'll help him become king. Beautiful as he is, he's also a lethal tyrant. And I could be in danger. Luckily, I know how to fight back, how to weaken an angel: I must seduce him. Now, this is a battle, and he's my beautiful enemy. We are fighting with weapons of desire, and we're both at risk of losing ourselves in this war. Seller Inventory # 00107444809
