Gregorio Morales
Gregorio Morales (7 July 1952 – 22 June 2015), was a Spanish novelist. Gregorio Morales represents a movement named quantum aesthetics that aims to look at human difficulties of all ages from a new perspective that solely derives from modern sciences such as particle physics, astronomy or psychology. In this way, ''Puerta del Sol'' (''The Sun Door'') (2002) is about love and genre violence. These themes are developed in a plot in which the boy representing the main character, faces the great assassin that he himself will be; and the adult murderer will face the little boy he was. These actions occur in a turbulent simultaneity of time and space. In ''Nómadas del Tiempo'' (''Nomads of Time'') (2005), Morales deals with the same problems, but this time inquires whether love is necessarily bound to age and space.
