A new novel by one of the leading representatives of modern Galician literature, Alfredo Conde, author of the famous "Griffin", nominated for the Nobel Prize. “Cobalt Blue” is a surprisingly vivid story about the life and death of a real person - the Marquis of Sargadelos, whose portrait was painted by the great Goya, a man who, like the ancient King Midas, turned everything he touched into gold. The action of the novel is set against the backdrop of a historically accurate panorama of the distant Spanish outskirts - Galicia - in the second half of the 18th century.
