Jesús del Campo

Kronborg Castle, which inspired one of the greatest works of world literature by Shakespeare, is the starting point of the unique journey this enlightening book invites us to embark on. Throughout its pages, the singular voice of the narrator will guide the reader along the paths that connect the past and present of a cultural tradition in crisis, thus dismantling the false dogmas that undermine it. The result is a lucid, diverse, and irreverent text in which disparate themes such as travel literature, class struggle, the contrasts between Northern and Southern European societies, the history of rock, consumerism, and the erosion of democratic values find their place. An extraordinary work that combines literature and historiography to unravel the keys not only to Europe's past and present but also to its future.
