About the Book

«Un siglo no es mucho cuando se habla de Bizancio.»

A mediados del siglo xii, el emperador Alejo Conmeno le otorgó a uno de sus siervos el título de Antioquía junto con el anillo de oro destinado a cerrar las cartas de una de las ciudades más importantes de Bizancio. Entre ellas, la que debía llegar a la Santa Sede para intentar reunificar las Iglesias de Oriente y Occidente. Ese anillo viajó a México en 1975 en el equipaje de la última descendiente de la familia que, a principios del siglo xx, fue expulsada de Antioquía cuando el último gobernador de la ciudad se opuso al genocidio armenio a manos del Imperio Otomano. Meses después de su llegada a México, el anillo fue robado.
El jardín del honor es la historia de Simón Ferré, ladrón que cuarenta años después de tomar la joya, convertido en anticuario y coleccionista de arte, descubre en una exposición sobre Bizancio el anillo del que perdió el rastro. Esta es una novela sobre la lealtad y las virtudes posibles, que mezcla la novela histórica con el thriller y a la vez cuestiona nuestra relación con el pasado y la moral.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"One century is not much when it comes to Byzantium."

In the middle of the 12th Century, Emperor Alexios I Komnenos gave one of his servants a nobel title of Antioch, along with the gold ring for closing letters of one of the most important cities in the Byzantium Empire. That ring made its way to Mexico in 1975, brought over by the last decendents of the family that were expelled from Antioch when the last governor of the city opposed the Ottoman Empire's Armenean genocide. Months after it arrived in Mexico, the ring was stolen.

The Garden of Honor is the story of Simon Ferre, a thief who, forty years after having stolen the ring, and now an antique collector, discovers the ring in an exhibition on the Byzantium Empire.

This is a novel about loyalty and virtues, which combines historical novel and thriller, meanwhile questioning our relationship with the past and our morale.
