Sergio Ramírez: kill like Raskolnikov and pursue dreams like Don Quixote. In his novel there are knotted scarves, lackeys, imperial seals, elegant hats with stuffed birds.

Along the way we will meet an evil governess, the supposed son of Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian of Habsburg, Emperor of Mexico. A combo of real characters at the service of the author's imagination. The Golden Horse is, without a doubt, his most generous way of turning exile into beauty.
