Translated from the Spanish by
niCK CaiStor & lorenZa garCia
In post-Napoleonic Germany, a traveller
on his way to Dessau stops off for a night
in the mysterious city of Wandernburg. He
intends to move on the following day, but the
town begins to ensnare him with its strange,
shifting geography. After befriending an old
organ grinder and falling for the daughter of
a local merchant, he soon finds it impossible
to leave.
A novel of philosophy and love, politics
and waltzes, history and the here-and-now,
Traveller of the Century is a journey into the
soul of Europe, penned by one of the most
exciting South-American writers of our
time.
