Resumen
El tema de El arpa y la sombra es bastante sencillo: trata del proceso que el papa Pío IX emprende para la beatificación del descubridor de América, Cristóbal Colón.
El texto gira en torno a la figura de Colón, pero contrario a la historiografía tradicional difiere de la imagen que se tiene de Cristóbal Colón, nos ofrece una vision humanista.
Al inicio y al final del libro se compara a Colón con MOISES, con SAN PEDRO, justificando esto su canonización. El discurso narrativo crea su propia sátira a esta condición por medio del personaje central en sus diferentes actuaciones.
