Mascarada

The novel is a big farce, a hoax about dictatorship and love. None of the characters meet their expectations, although they follow their own interest and have great hopes from each other. It's fun to read, but filled with to many descriptions and repetitions.

Although the book was first published in 1941, the depiction style and explanations remind me of romanticism. It is an elaborated work though, like a movie with many twists and unexpected ending.
