SPANISH writer Juan Manuel de Prada was in Manila last week. It was his first visit and a short one but he has immersed himself enough in Philippine History to write a novel of historical fiction, Morir Bajo Su Cielo. The title comes from a phrase of Rizal in his Ultimo Adios.

Mr. Prada is a novelist and a daily columnist for ABC, a leading Spanish broadsheet of Rightist persuasion (de derechas) in Madrid. He is also a prize-winning novelist, having won a Premio Planeta, a notable writing prize in Spain.
