Literary Adventures: The Strange Notes of the Convict is a novel set in the library of San Miguel de los Reyes (until 1966 a penitentiary and, before that, a monastery), where Daniela, a seventeen-year-old girl, through readings proposed by her teacher, discovers a series of notes from a reader from another era with whom she begins to identify. So much so that, with the help of a young librarian, he begins a curious investigation into the identity of this mysterious reader, his affinities and his way of life; at the same time, a transformation emerges in the girl by which she will value freedom, friendship and the power of reading in a different way.
