Overview
Provocativa, profunda y divertida, esta novela trastoca las buenas costumbres y da la visión de una utopía que sigue siendo necesaria.
El rey se acerca a su templo está compuesta por dos novelas que se reflejan, interactuando de forma extraordinaria.
Publicada originalmente en 1975, esta obra novedosa completó la trilogía compuesta por Se está haciendo tarde (final en laguna) y Círculo vicioso. Imbuida de las costumbres cotidianas de su época, El rey se acerca a su templo confirma a José Agustín como uno de los escritores más importantes de su generación y como la pluma que ha redactado el testamento de toda una época.
A principios de los años setenta, cuando la rebeldía atrapaba a los jóvenes y las drogas, el rock y el sexo libre se volvían las banderas de una nueva generación, dos amigos diferentes entre sí se convierten en el vehículo de José Agustín para contar su visión de aquellos años. Ésta es la historia de dos búsquedas diferentes que, sin embargo, son conducidas por la misma necesidad: el amor y el erotismo, la experimentación con las drogas y el conocimiento de la naturaleza humana.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Provocative, profound, and entertaining, this novel upends good manners and offers the vision of a utopia that remains necessary.
The King Approaches His Temple is composed of two novels that mirror one another, interacting in extraordinary ways.
Originally published in 1975, this innovative work completed the trilogy formed by It’s Getting Late (Ending in the Lagoon) and Vicious Circle. Steeped in the everyday customs of its time, The King Approaches His Temple confirms José Agustín as one of the most important writers of his generation and as the voice that drafted the testament of an entire era.
In the early 1970s, when rebellion gripped young people and drugs, rock music, and free love became the banners of a new generation, two friends—different from each other—become José Agustín’s vehicle to narrate his vision of those years. This is the story of two different searches driven, nonetheless, by the same need: love and eroticism, experimentation with drugs, and the exploration of human nature.
