SYNOPSIS 
In FREE AND UNTOUCHABLE, his second novel, the author transports us to imaginary spaces, particularly Aurora, in the Sierra Romana, where, through his characters, he develops, analyses and presents values and behaviours in a creative and extremely daring and critical manner, verging upon the scornful. In sociological and cultural terms, his considerations may be classified as radical and unorthodox.

The political direction of the government, especially the ensuing social infirmity, in addition to several controversies experienced in a mysterious and erotic environment are the main focus of the dialogues in this book. To live, feel and appreciate reality through fiction is, undoubtedly, one of the most fulfilling and secure ways of being able to discover a huge world of surprises and cathartic experiences that are crucial to one’s affective and psychological equilibrium.

By becoming involved in the social and political experiences and in the intimacy of the intense amorous liaisons of the main characters, the readers will be given the opportunity to alienate themselves and relieve their most intimate traumas, furies, anxieties and desires.
