Jesús Sánchez Adalid

Jesús Sánchez Adalid (1962) studied law at the university of Extremadura. His wide-ranging, original literary oeuvre has connected with a huge number of readers thanks to the truthfulness of his arguments and the intensity of his descriptions, which are based on observation and documentation. His novels constitute a incisive reflection on human relationships, individual liberty, love, power and the search for truth. Sánchez Adalid's work has become a symbol of accord and harmony between east and west, between the religions, races and peoples that make up humanity. He has successfully published 'La luz del Oriente', 'El mozárabe', 'Félix de Lusitania', 'En compañía del sol', 'El cautivo', 'La sublime puerta', 'El caballero de Alcántara', 'Los milagros del vino' and 'Galeón'. In 2007 he won the Fernando Lara prize for his novel 'El alma de la ciudad'.
