Antonio Fernandez Ortiz's novel “Chronicles of Espartania (Kaleidoscope of Fates)” is one of the most important works of recent years in Spanish fiction, although it is little known to the general public. The action of the novel takes place in Spain against the backdrop of the most important historical events of the first half of the 20th century : Civil War 1936–1939 (the last peasant war of Western Europe) and the post-war period, which changed life both in villages and towns, and in large cities and, in general, throughout Spain until the almost complete disappearance of this world. This multifaceted work combined all the most interesting aspects of artistic literature: heroic and tragic stories, love affairs, descriptions of historical realities and disappeared ways of life, and the author’s skill and his bright living language, filling the speech of the heroes with extraordinary artistic power, help readers fully feel like participants in those distant events.
