¡Rojo No Hito
¡Hori Denzen Mamoru
Description
[Machine Translation] The time is the first half of the 13th century. The setting is the Iberian Peninsula, the Pyrenees, across France, south through Italy to Rome, and a vast area of southern Europe. The narrator, a vagrant known as "Jonah of the Road," is a lowly, almost illiterate man who is intelligent and speaks many languages, including Latin. At times he is a squire for British diplomatic envoys, German priests, and knights (spies) sent to the papal court by the Holy Roman Emperor, and at other times he joins a band of traveling entertainers and, if necessary, travels east and west, begging for food. The novel was written by Zen'ei Hotta (1918-1998) in 1985, mostly in a guest house in Barcelona.
