Ten years after the events of Ildefonso Falcones' majestic saga The Cathedral by the Sea, we return to medieval Barcelona, where the protagonist of The Cathedral, Arnau Estagnol, is an elderly and respected citizen, and the Puch family, his longtime enemies, have been defeated. However, this favorable picture crumbles into dust before the eyes of a young protégé of Estanyol, a boy named Hugo Llore, who, having managed to memorize the most important advice of his mentor not to bow to anyone, at twelve years of age suddenly acquires very powerful enemies. His dream of building ships is not destined to come true, but Estagnola's friends discover wine-making; in time Hugo becomes a respected vintner and cupbearer - as well as a loyal friend of a cruel corsair, a spy for the king and a liberator of slaves. Ildefonso Falcones is a lawyer by profession, a historian by vocation, one of the greatest Spanish writers of our time, winner of numerous prestigious awards, including the Euskadi de Plata (2006, Spain), Qué Leer (2007, Spain), and the Giovanni Boccaccio Award (2007, Italy); his books have already sold more than 10 million copies in several dozen countries, and both novels of his Barcelona saga have become popular Netflix television series. "Heirs of the Earth" - a grand epic in which ordinary people, having survived the merciless meat grinder of History, remain giants, manage to retain dignity and love, and even find happiness. Justice is elusive but triumphant here, and the narrative flows like wine, acting imperceptibly and subtly intoxicating.
