Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This work delves into the universe of Julio Aumente, a singular dandy of bohemian Madrid, whose existence represents the elegance of a declining era. A poet of the famous 'Cántico' group in Cordoba in the 1940s, a refined antique dealer and genealogist with a sharp wit, Aumente is presented in these lively profiles as a melancholic aesthete, whose private life is marked by passionate loves and a relentless search for beauty. Through the close gaze of the narrator, Luis Antonio de Villena, the intricate details of his eccentric mansion are revealed, a sumptuous and chaotic 'totum revolutum' that reflects his soul. The text paints a portrait of Aumente that defies convention. From his erotic encounters on public transport to his complex relationship with his family and the aristocratic world, every facet of his life is explored with subtlety and affection. The story delves into his romantic relationships, including his last and ardent passion for a young man from the neighborhood, Miguel/Gianni, a bond that embodies the confrontation between decadent luxury and the harsh reality of marginalization. The work is an exploration of ephemeral beauty, desire, old age, and the persistent flame of poetic creation in an indomitable spirit, offering a window into a world of eccentricities and passions that left an indelible mark on those who were fortunate enough to know him.
