In Roncesvalles, we are transported to the High Middle Ages to witness—up close—the legendary defeat of the Frankish king Charlemagne’s army in the year 778 AD, brought to life as a stunning historical fresco.

The second story, Garín, takes us into an imaginary medieval world populated by dragons, fairies, and tyrants ruling over distant kingdoms—kingdoms that the hero, a forerunner of the better-known Drako of Gades, sets out to free.

Key points:

• A true masterpiece. A collection of magnificent illustrations that explain, with historical rigour and artistic passion, a medieval episode that has inspired countless epic poems throughout history

• Palacios' treatment of historical events shines brighter than ever, describing them as a collective movement that encompasses all strata of society and all existing cultures
