Jorge Molist and Luis Zueco in conversation

A Vision of Spain

Segovia 2025, 

The history of Spain is shaped by the sites where momentous events took place. Some are all but forgotten while others proudly display their marks of history. These spaces, and the people who occupied them, form part of our vision of who we are. The transatlantic empire that was Spain, its history, its characters and its intrigues permeate the narrative works of two authors read by thousands.

After a long professional career in various multinational companies, Jorge Molist decided to return to his vocation as a writer and in 2000 published the novel Los muros de Jericó, followed by Presagio and El anillo ('The Ring'), which was published in more than 20 languages. He has just brought out his latest book El Español. The writer Luis Zueco achieved international success with his fascinating Medieval Trilogy: El castillo, La ciudad and El monasterio, three suspense novels set in the most emblematic architectural settings of the era. Following this historical vein, he published last year El mapa de un mundo nuevo ('The Map of a New World').

There will be a book signing at the end of the event
