En la Barcelona de principios del siglo XX, Julia, hija de un matrimonio burgués, se rebelará contra una sociedad donde las mujeres no pueden decidir su destino. Todo empieza el día que el rey Alfonso XIII visita Barcelona. Julia es la hija mayor de un industrial catalán, pero pronto se da cuenta que es su hermano menor el que heredará todo y que ella deberá casarse con quien su padre elija, como moneda de cambio para mantener el estatus en una sociedad en crisis que ni la visita del monarca puede maquillar.

"De nen no tenia televisió. La música a través de la ràdio era la meitat del meu món, ja que l'altra el formava la literatura, devorar llibres. Moltes nits em quedava a escoltar les òperes que retransmetia Radio Nacional de España en directe. Quan el locutor descrivia el següent acte, la meva imaginació volava lliure." I això és el que ha volgut transmetre'ns Jordi Sierra i Fabra, el mestre de la literatura infantil i juvenil, a través de les pàgines d'aquesta atípica òpera.

A Belfondo, el temps es va aturar fa molt. És un poble aïllat i misteriós, on hi ha una fàbrica i el seu amo governa les vides de tots els habitants del poble. Cada un d'ells sap que és una peça de l'engranatge i sap el seu paper en aquesta hermètica realitat social. A través de la ploma de Jenn Díaz, el lector coneix Belfondo, no pels seus carrers, sinó per les persones que hi habiten, com l'Arcadi, el mestre del poble, l'Horaci, l'enterrador, la Beremunda, la prostituta, o el seu germà Dositeo.

Listen to this book to learn about the Middle Passage, the triangular trade, and the people who continued fighting for change after the importation of enslaved people was banned.
