Explore "Nietzsche on his Balcony" by Carlos Fuentes on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Leonardo soon discovered the girl Elisa, in his own house, though she had circumvented the Nazarenes' security patrols by following instructions provided by his brother, Dante. Did Dante know what he was doing? Did he think that by putting the girl up in the attic beside their father, Zacarías, whom Leonardo never visited, he'd never find her? Didn't Dante notice that Leonardo had been keeping an eye on the entire house ever since the day that Zacarías was resurrected, so to speak, to berate the doctor and the nun?
Was the temporary resurrection provoked by those two undesirable presences-the madhouse doctor and a smoking, cardsharp nun-who woke Zacarías? Was he "resurrected" for good?
